Movie Reviews of Paperback Romance
Movie Review: Not very romantic
Summary: 3 Stars
I saw this movie last night, but I has not left much of an impression. It was a weird movie, with some hilarious scenes, but there was just no way I was going to like the main characters. Sophie - an erotic writer - chases after Eddie, a jewel thief with a fiancee. There is nothing romantic about it. They willingly deceive Eddies girlfriend, Sophie knows about his illegal business and lies for him to the police. All ending in a very embarrassing scene with police listening in on them in a sleezy motelroom. This is not what I call romance....
Summary of Paperback Romance
Putting your best foot forward has never been so sexyor so deliciously funnyas in this "entertaining, oddball comedy" (TNT's "Rough Cuts") that proves that it's worth it to go to outrageous lengths for the one you love. While reading aloud some of her provocative prose, Sophie, a romance novelist (Gia Carides, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) meets an impressed eavesdropper (Anthony LaPaglia, "Without a Trace") who turns out to be the man of her dreams. But having been disabled since childhood,Sophie lacks the confidence to go after him, until she gets a lucky breaka broken limb that allows her to disguise her childhood infirmity by posing as the victim of a skiing mishap. But when she throws fate to the wind and starts a star-crossed affair, she learns that she isn't the only one with something to hide!Comedy DVD Video
