A Weekend in the Country

I saw this film during a boring bus-journey and it was fantastic for me! (Not because of the boring journey, it really was a fantastic movie...) First I thought that it will be not so good, but the actors, the famous and unknown actors and actresses were great, I really loved Dudley and Jack, I'm so sad, that they don't live with us anymore... And the act of Jack at the end of the movie was so... I don't know any word for this, but it was unforgettable. Thanks for the actors, director and everybody for this movie! I really loved John Shea too, I know him from other movies (but I think, he could not break his leg within that balloon...), and the enter of Ernie Dingo was very good, I saw him some years ago in other series. Christine Lahti was so beautiful again in this movie, I like her because her Finnish ancestors too. I love the movies with happy end, and in this movie it was really happy end - for everybody. I think it is a romantic funny movie, if you see it, later you must not forget it.

"A Weekend in the Country" isn't very funny for a comedy, it isn't very romantic either, for a romantic comedy. It is however NICE, a down-right pleasant trip to some very beautiful surroundings (the California wine district), and best of all: you get to spend it with some very nice people: Christine Lahti, Rita Rudner (who also scripted), Richard Lewis, Faith Ford, John Shea, and Dudley Moore giving a performance that seems somewhat poignant, considering this would be his last real on-screen movie-role. And to top it all off you get the added bonus of the great Jack Lemmon who gives it all some class.

This was actually my first movie I was in! I was 14 years old and at the BALLOON and WINE FESTIVAL with my family in Temecula, CA. I was actually in a few scenes...One where one of the fellows is chasing another guy and they actually jumped over our blanket... and another scene where they were filming at a "PORTA POTTY". It was really the first time I wanted to become an actor and being in this movie seeing myself on screen was cool! The movie was eh, alright... I mean it wasn't no ACTION PACKED ADVENTURE or nothing but a well shot movie, in my opinion! If i were to be in the sequel that would be awesome! We could call it... "GETTING FADED IN THE COUNTRY SIDE" ha-ha... Thanks for reading my review!
