Face the Music

Accually I did find the movie funny in most parts. Patrick Dempsey was coming out of his geek days and he actually started to look like "A younger McDreamy". Molly Ringwald CANNOT sing to save her life but you cant hate her for that. Her character made me laugh a lot during the movie. What is the deal with Patrick Dempsey and adultery? every movie/show i have seen of him thats what is is doing. (but can you blame the women?)The plot was likable. This movie was very predicable and also pretty short. I did like the movie producers nephew...he was great, and super funny. At the beginning of the movie I wondered if it was ever worth watching but about 30 minutes into the movie I really liked it a lot. over all I'll give it a B.

This movie is very underrated. I believe that the people who rated it didn't really give it a chance.

The chemistry between Lisa and Charlie, played by Molly Ringwald and Patrick Dempsey, seems legitimate. The only thing I wish were different would be Julie and Daniel admitting each other's feelings for one another. Other than that, it was a pleasant and enjoyable film overall.

OK, the story is fairly predictable, and the music is hardly great, though I've heard much worse singers than Molly Ringwald in my time. But I enjoyed this film, which is full of quirky characters and situations. The movie producer's nephew Donny steals quite a few scenes, and there's a very odd workman whose scenes give the impression that possibly some subplot involving him has been cut. That's not to say the two leads do a bad job, and I enjoyed watching both Molly Ringwald as Lisa (lyrics) and Patrick Dempsey as Charlie (composer). Lysette Anthony does her best with her role as the new woman in Charlie's life though the script perhaps could have been a bit more subtle where she's concerned.

I can imagine this film as a thirties screwball comedy, or perhaps as a stage farce, and it might have been funnier and better directed in either case, but I still find it oddly enjoyable.

This isn't a film that takes itself too seriously, and if you come to it willing to be entertained rather than looking to rip it to shreds you probably won't be as disappointed as the 1/10 reviews suggest.

Very sweet picture. Best of all, we get to hear Molly sing. Not a lot, but still.

I had no idea this movie was supposed to take place in France until a character mentioned going to the Eiffel Tower. I figured this was a bad sign of things to come. There were several instances when the background music almost drowned out the dialogue.

The disorientation continues throughout. The editing of this film felt disjointed. There were multiple instances of cutting between two scenes in a way that felt unnecessary and jarring. It interrupted the pacing of a scene.

The most impressive part of this film is how many scenes there are of Molly Ringwald wearing just a towel in public spaces. It's a surprisingly high number and there seems to be no reason for it, unless there's some symbolism totally lost on me.
