Movie Reviews of The Very Thought of You
Movie Review: The Man is Handsome
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a cute date flick, pop the wine cork, and throw the popcorn in the microwave. Sure, the coincidence of three best London male friends falling for one Minneapolis blonde-haired woman in a few days is unlikely in real life, but film is not real life. If it were, we would be watching non-stop documentaries or less contrived reality TV.
So I'll go along with the quirky, desperate attempt by little Miss Nobody, Monica Potter, Marsha from Minneapolis (a Mary Tyler Moore with a bad attitude) attempt to fly anywhere; just get me out of town and on to my new life where little people are appreciated. Then she meets in succession: the wealthy short person in the music business, his friend, the failed child actor, and Joseph Fiennes, a bridge teacher. I think they could have come up with a more believable occupation for cynical Shakespeare in Love, but the man is handsome and your date will warm up for later activities.
Movie Review: Pleasant Fluff
Summary: 3 Stars
The 'Very Thought of You' was one of those guilty little pleasures we all take in vegetating on a cold day while successfully procrastinating away from some project. I watched it on my laptop during an open house on a rainy day (very few visitors), and it was the perfect sort of movie for that particular situation. The plot is not complex at all (good for frequent stoppages), though the acting appropriately highlights the best parts of the script. It's an off-beat sort of romantic comedy from a screenwriter who should come out with better things in the future. Monica Potter and Joseph Fiennes give believable performances as hopeless romantics looking for a better life. Friends, foreign travel, and two minor injuries to Fiennes' character mixes up their plans.Movie Review: A lark but not worth owning
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Very Thought of You" is perhaps typical of the many chick flicks out there. It involves a couple of thoroughly enjoyable devices and concepts, though, that aren't always found in the common movie, such as mistaken identities; story telling through different sets of eyes; unfettered, spontaneous travel and Joseph Fiennes. I bought it on an extremely impulsive whim and regret it. Rent it, don't buy it.Movie Review: Pleasant British Film
Summary: 3 Stars
Cute British film that works due to capable and likable cast - Monica - Joe - Tom & Rufus. Some nice shots of London and OK musical score except one ugly number that appears to be theme - played a bit too much. Excellent DVD quality - pic & sound.Movie Review: A Little Weird
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was ok. It was very strange though. I don't think i would recommend it. Joseph Finnes is of course wonderful. But MOnica POtter is wonderful too but is unable to play a wild girl (flashy clothes) it just isn't her. Acting wasn't bad.
