Movie Reviews of Moonlight and Valentino
Movie Review: With a cast like this, it falls short.
Summary: 2 Stars
Picking up this movie blindly, I had small expectations. All of them were based on what I considered to be a fantastic cast. A meeting of female stars like this should have brought more emotions or depth to the characters in this story, but fell terribly short with flat writing. Becky (Elizabeth Perkins) is predictable & tough to feel anything for, as an audience member. She is going through a large trauma in her life, but acts & reacts with no extra sorrow than anyone would have. Lucy (Gwyneth Paltrow) as Becky's immature, "still-finding-herself-in-college" sister cannot be strong for Becky during this painful time. ALberta (Kathleen Turner) is their controlling step-mother, who leads a sub-plot which went nowhere. She is attached to these females on a regular basis, yet there seems to be no reason for her to be everywhere with them. And Whoopi GOldberg as Becky's troubled best friend is there as a support, but also as someone carrying around a sub-plot of her own that lands short. The up side to this film is the painter, played by Jon Bon Jovi. He plays a small role, but in his on-screen debut, steals the show. This film had potential to be following 4 women through a tough year in their lives, but decided to avoid being that productive & adventurous in the script.Movie Review: Without Jon Bon Jovi, I would have given it ONE star.
Summary: 2 Stars
This was honestly one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The plot was boring if not non-existent. The only redeeming quality was the fact that the scenes with Jon Bon Jovi were cute and not depressing.Movie Review: Amateurish and boring; don't waste your time.

I can't believe these glowing reviews. If I were a woman (I'm a gay guy however, for what it's worth - ha), I'd be offended to be represented by the lame, one-dimensional, self-absorbed, annoying characters that inhabit this snore-fest. With a cast like this (well, with the exception of Elizabeth Perkins who is a totally whiny, neurotic sad-sack in this movie... she's even irritating to look at) I thought it would be a decent film but I was WAY off. If you're in the mood for a great introspective film on love and loss, watch "Trois Couleurs: Bleu." If you want to see a cleverly composed movie about female camaraderie, there's always "Thelma and Louise." Those are two films that merit multiple viewings. But this?? Perhaps if you enjoy horrendously written, trite stabs at drama and even worse attempts at humor (the only time I laughed was when the dialogue got so bad I HAD to), you'd like this movie. Otherwise, don't waste your time, I beseech you. This is not a movie to watch while you are drinking a good wine. It's a movie to down a bottle of Mad Dog over to drown the realization that crap like this passes as art with some people.Movie Review: IT WAS HORRIBLE

I just saw this on TV and it was the worst!!!! That stupid tear drop the main character paints on her face at the end should have been there for the whole movie since all she f****ing did was cry. By the end of it it looked like even Whoopi Goldberg wanted to get away from her. This movie would have been a lot better if it had been called "Get Over It" instead and somebody dropped an anvil on the ugly main character's head halfway through. Then Gwyneth Paltrow and Kathleen Turner make a marionette out of her body and make her curl up into a ball and talk about how ugly and pathetic she is. Oh wait, then it would pretty much be the same movie again. Avoid this movie! I want my two hours back!!!!Movie Review: After seeing an hour of it, I agree with the negative reviews.
Summary: 1 Stars
I'll watch the rest, but this is a pretty boring movie. You can't argue with the people who love this
film, but I look forward to erasing it as soon as I struggle through the last 45 minutes. (Luckily, recorded
from TV.)
