Movie Review: One More Thing.....
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is a romance with a twist even a touch quirky but well worth viewing for both the writing and acting.
Louise Harrington (Laura Linney) is a 39 year old college admissions worker. Her marriage/divorce from Professor Peter Harrington (Gabriel Byrne) is amicable but as friends new incidents that occurred during their marriage are revealed which throw Louise off kilter. Almost at the same time a young art student appears with the name F. Scott Feinstadt (Topher Grace) and his name is not the only coincidence to an old love who passed away. Searching for connection Louise interviews F. Scott and a May-December relationship begins but not without its faults. Does Louise love F. Scott or the memory of another man? Add to the flame her best friend Missy Goldberg (Marcia Gay Harden) who encourages the memory and adds to the mess.
Laura Linney is wonderful in her role as a woman with a re-ignited flame. Opposite Linney is Marcia Gay Harden as the stalking greedy best friend always looking to one up Linney. Gabriel Byrne does a great job as a troubled professor who can't seem to figure out his true heart. And Topher Grace accomplishes the naive student role extremely well however for my tastes he isn't the perfect romantic lead...a little too boyish in my opinion and a sort of creepy. But the idea is certainly interesting. Is it re-incarnation, mistaken identity or just a strange coincidence luckily it is all explained in the end.
P.S.......Not sure this film would have worked if the gender roles had been reversed!
Movie Review: Topher Grace Gets Lucky
Summary: 4 Stars
There are so few examples of real lust and other adult stuff going on in 9000 R rated films in the last 30 years. In PS, 39 year-old Laura Linney practically throws young Topher Grace on her couch. She is absolutely licking her chops since Grace looks, indeed has the same name, as her teen love. Teen love had been killed in a car accident. He had loved both Linney and Linney's best friend, Marcia Gay. Anyhow, Grace's twenty year-old personality and looks resembles the dead lover, so Linney thinks he's a gift from heaven. Her life with an ex-husband had been less than satisfying. Yes, she's got a descent job at Columbia, but she's not having sex with anyone for years; hence, Topher Grace not only gets lucky, he gets involved in a weird and wonderful love situation.
PS, Dylan Kid made an even better film for adults called Rodger Dodger. Check that one out. It's a classic. God, I love films for adults without the X.
Movie Review: Interesting Romance
Summary: 4 Stars
Laura Linney and Marcia Gay Hardin are great in P.S. But Topher Grace is outstanding in his role as the young art student who has a romantic sexual affair with Linney's character.
The story is sad as Linney's character tries to deal with her lonliness and the fact that her ex-husband cheated on her. The story is very real and touching about their marriage falling apart.
The part about Topher Grace's character being some type of reincarnation of the boy they loved in their youth, is alittle weird and hard to follow. I think they could have left all this out and it would have still been an interesting story of women trying to fulfill their lives with a younger man.
The acting in the movie is top-notch and amazingly realistic.
Movie Review: I still had a little hunger left
Summary: 4 Stars
Normally when I watch a really good movie, I shut it off and feel like I know the whole story. In P.S., however, I still felt hungry for more-- character development, plot development, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, but unfortunately, they edited just a little too much and left out a lot of important scenes that delve deeper into the relationships of the six principle characters, but especially between Laura and Topher's characters. The movie is beautifully acted. No one plays disguised distress better than Laura Linney (see Primal Fear) and Topher Grace is a very gifted actor, not to mention very easy on the eyes. It's a wonderful romance movie for the big-hearted. But, if you're looking for deeper development, it's missing.Movie Review: Ella hace la pelicula
Summary: 4 Stars
Una pelicula romantica que se basa en las tristezas y dudas existenciales de Laura Linney con su actuación. Mantiene la atención posterior a los primeros quince minutos, para después tomar un ritmo que atrae por lo extraordinario de los descubrimientos en la quehaceres humanos de los participantes en la pelicula. Una de las peliculas clásicas en temas románticos a mi gusto, por ende las cuatro estrellas.
