Se cucini, ti sposo

A very good comedy with a great actor called N.Kinski, who played in a very nice and funny way. It was her first role with glasses and she played the mother of two children, who want to make holiday in a flat. But the flat was rent by another family in the same time. So she was between her man the scientist and the other men, who rent the flat too. He was a cook, played by Timothy Dalton. The film was like "easy listening", just for fun but it understand one of the great forgotten themes in our culture: How nice it is to have a family!

Well, when I first heard of this movie my first thought was that it looked like another stupid made for TV movie. But after I watched it, I loved it! The lines are actually funny, The lead characters have great chemistry, and it never gets after school special-ish. And I think the acting was good, and the lead guy's shirtless scene was fine-it just showed him as a regular guy, not some super model. Oh, and Kevin Zegers looked fine!

"Bitter Suite"/"Time Share" (if only the movie could have changed with the title) is a painfully lame German-produced TV movie that is far below its two stars (it says a lot about the current career of Nastassja Kinski that she's credited as a co-producer). The setup is out of a thousand dozen sitcoms - families put together by mistake, neither one getting along with the other at first but... cue lots of arguments, gooey sentiment, and a kids-in-peril-at-sea segment so unconvincing it makes "Jaws 3-D" seem tense.

Timothy Dalton's accent really irritates, but neither he nor Miss Kinski (who manages to not seem humiliated, and who's still a beauty in her 40s) are at fault - it would have been even worse without them. The only consolation is that some of today's far less talented bright young things may wind up in the same predicament one day - it's sad that, like Rosanna Arquette, Nastassja's wasting away in bad TV movies. Then again, you can't come back without something to come back from...

oh I thought it was great it had a unique style of love,war,and comedy plus Kevin Zegers is so HOT!!!!!!!(by:Kayla) of course it was a very cool movie even though it wasn't very bad either it just showed how single parents take care of their kids thats about it and how the woman is engaged to another man love can always follow you places.

TIME SHARE is not the kind of film that will find it's way onto anyone's 'Top Ten' list, but as a light, entertaining romantic comedy, it is a pleasant diversion, and offers stars Timothy Dalton and Nastassja Kinski more 'audience friendly' roles than they've been appearing in, lately.

He's a master chef/widower with devoted kids, a 'live life to the fullest' attitude, and a wicked grin; she's a botanist/divorcee with a geeky fiancé, frustrated kids, and a pent-up passion searching for an outlet. From the moment they meet, trying to squeeze their cars past one another for the last spot on a ferry to their island rental, they become both enemies and rivals, a situation that becomes even more pronounced when they discover that both families have been accidentally booked into the same summer rental. While the kids quickly bond, Dalton and Kinski simply seem to find more ways to irritate one another...although when she caresses him in the shower (thinking him to be her fiancé), she discovers him to be far more of a man than her current beau...and listening to her talk in her sleep, he learns that her aloofness hides a smoldering sexuality waiting to be released.

Can True Love be far away?

While a subplot of two of the children trapped on a sailboat in a storm lacks the tension to be truly effective, and Kinski's boyfriend is portrayed as so buffoonish and asexual that you wonder why she fell for him in the first place, the sexual chemistry between Dalton and Kinski is potent, and the film is romantic enough to make a good 'date movie'.

For an evening's 'light' entertainment, you could do far worse than this easy-going comedy!
