Venus and Mars

This is a very non-cynical film. Basically the moral behind it is - if you believe in love it will find you. Hard to believe when my girlfriend just dumped me..

Anyway, the film is about a group of American girls who are reunited at their European school when their favorite teacher and soccer coach dies. They are now all in their 30's and are having problems with their love lives. Basically they all sort out their lives over the period of about 7 days.

I really enjoyed the performances of the actors and the film kind of reminded me of a cross between Sex in the City and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Unfortunately the direction is really weak. Parts of the movie are very predictable. The performances of Julie Bowen (Ed!), Ryan Hurst (Remember the Titans) and Daniela Lunkewitz (Children of Dune) stand out.

I saw this film at a test screening here in Berlin and I fell madly in love: with this adorable film, the actors and they way this made me and my boyfriend feel. It is not a "message" film, but it is perfect for a date on Saturday night...bring popcorn,sit in the last row and start kissing. And if you are not bringing a date, at least this will remind you what it feels to be young and in love. And unless you are completely jaded and cynical, this will make you smile.

Maybe it is because I saw this movie in a wonderfuly special place that it means so much to me. Or maybe it is because it is such a good movie. I always love it when I see a movie and it reminds me of the great feeling you get when your in love. This is a movie to see with someone close to you, either a great friend or your loved one. To all the actors, I say "wonderful work," to the director "brilliant", and to the writer "the godfather of romantic comedy" you never cease to amaze me, I still can't believe your in my life. Thanks for always inspiring me in every walk of life.

GREAT FLICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is such a great movie. The basic premise of a "return to home and meet up with friends you haven't seen for ages" is played out here with the friends realizing things about themselves that they didn't know. The classic "mom v. daughter" and why we move away from home (but still return) is done very well by Lynn Redgrave and Daniella Lunkiwitz (sorry for any mis-spellings. The story line is excellent with some great one-liners. I highly recommend this movie. Michael Weatherly and Ryan Hurst play the sensitive, devil-may-care personalities very well. This is truly a great work of filmaking. I had to tape this when it was shown on TV because as of yet there is no way to buy it. When's the DVD coming?

"Venus and Mars" is nice romantic-comedy. This is not a great movie, but this is not a bad movie. Michael Weatherly play in that movie his role good but not so great like in "Dark Angel", but this actor has got big potential to became very popular cinema movie actor, not only TV actor. Daniela Amavia play her role nice, but she is not so good in romantic-comedy like Meg Ryan or Sandra Bullock. This movie is good production to watch if you want to spend free time with your girlfriend. "Venus and Mars" is nice German production (I do not specially like German actors) with many actors from USA or some from Englad, that is big + of that movie. Julie Bowen also play in that movie, this actress is well know from comedy TV series "ED". Michael Weatherly who play in two very good TV series "Dark Angel" and "NCIS" in that movie is not so good like in his work in TV movie "Mystery of Natalie Wood" but his acting is similar to Wilson brothers (Luke and Owen)... If someone like some actors from that movie, then you should watch "Venus and Mars"...
