Movie Review: Good film
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was not bad but I have seen better.There are so few examples of real lust and other adult stuff going on in 9000 plus 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. A past love had been killed in a car accident. Linney's best friend, Marcia Gay, was interested also. 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 happy; hence, Topher Grace not only gets lucky, he gets involved in a weird and wonderful love situation.
The film is nice to watch, as a remarkable group of actors make a tricky premise psychologically plausible. The actors (Linney, Grace, and Harden in particular) never make a false step in bringing their characters to life, and the implausible premise seems somehow unimportant as they draw the viewer into a believable existential drama. The abrupt and ambiguous ending disappoints and destroys the possibility of regarding the film as a satisfying work of art, but as a complex depiction of a life in which dreams have been destroyed (and perhaps are salvaged), and as a field-day for several great actors. Good film for those who enjoys romance.
Movie Review: C'mon , I was hoping for better !
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading about the movie on the back of the dvd I went in with high expectations. The plot concept sounded very interesting and so I watched the entire movie. Even though the concept of the plot was good the director didn't take advantage of the great potential this movie could have offered its viewers. The teenage boy ( her love interest ) wasn't believable to me and his personality in this film was distracting. Over the phone he was confident , rude , and called her by her first name. In person he was nervous , kinda shy , and somewhat of a nerd. The sex scenes were unnesssary and contrived . The problem with this movie was the disjointed plot scenes that made the movie feel rushed. I felt like there were too many unanswred questions in this movie and i wasn't happy with the ending. I really don't like open ended movies like that. I think most people prefer to have some idea what is happening ,etc. Oh well.Movie Review: A missed opportunity
Summary: 3 Stars
I got a free pass to see this just a few months and was excited about it by just the cast alone, and though it wasn't a bad movie it never quite delivered on the premise that it was promising.
The whole movie the main character dates a young kid (Topher Grace) that looks and acts like her dead lover. So the question is, Why? Is he reincarnated? Duping her? Stragely this question is never answered. We have some great acting in the movie and some good character interplay but that's about it.
I'd like to know if they cut some stuff out of the movie and took the conclusion with it or if they just had a script that never followed through.
Movie Review: When is Laura Linney going to win the Oscar?
Summary: 3 Stars
An off beat, metaphysical love story that sometimes strains its credabilty in awkward ways. BUT, the performances ave it from being a Lifetime movie or hack romance.
Laura Linney is just such an amazing actress. Her face delivers all the lines that are never in the script and you feel whatever she feels. Grace is very good and restrained in his role as the object of her affection.
Movie Review: Pretty Schmaltzy
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't know what I was expecting when I picked up this film. I was impressed, primarily, by the cast list, having seen all but Topher Grace in action many times, and I know how talented and capable the entire ensemble is. But the huge talents of professionals like Lois Smith and Marcia Gay Harden are pretty much wasted here. What I got was your basic chick-flick, which, in itself, is fine, but so many of the scenes comprised little more than Linney and Grace making soulful goo-goo eyes at each other with a gratuitous steamy sex scene. The premise of the story is pretty well-used. (Remember "Chances Are," with Cybill Shepherd and Robert Downey?) This is a pithier version on the same theme and the only thing that saves the wreckage is the solid performances turned in by the woefully misused cast. Of course, I will devour anything with Linney in it so I can't say it was time or money ill-spent, but the vehicle, the script, and the over-the-top direction combine to make this a somewhat disappointing package.
