Amore inaspettato

Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore are a good pairing because they are two very attractive people, Though Dylan McDermott is no slouch in the looks department either.

Baldwin plays a blind writer, (The stereotypical writer that's brilliant cause he wrote two great books but only published one, and he's half a bottle away from being a mean drunk). He had an encounter with Demi Moore who plays the wife of a business man who used her name to commit white collar crimes and now she's force to do community service to pay for those crimes (She too is a stereotype of being rich and white and use to getting whatever she wants but now she gets a little taste of life without the silver spoon).

McDermott's character is not as stereotyped, playing one of these wall street guys who was from the streets, but his story arch as the husband (Of Demi Moore's character) is very cliché (He treats her like she's property, and is very possessive). Though, I'm not sure if the amount of screen time McDermott got in the film was truly needed for the story, he was the most interesting character in the movie and it made the movie more interesting.

So they definitely needed him. The movie is not bad. It works best the more you like watching Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore (Who I rarely see in films today so it was a pleasure), but it's not a film that I would brag about. You watch it once, you'll like it and from there it's pretty forgettable.

It'll entertaining you for a few hours but leave no long lasting impression.

It's a relaxing and easy one. Nothing was significant or impressed but captivated enough for me to finish to the end.

The scripts and contents left quite some room to improve. I am not sure it was the cast or story to keep me watching. Somehow I was not bored by its predicable scenarios. It could have more layers and intellects to deepen its storyline. Demi and Alec were a little bit odd couple thrown together. I would prefer Nicole Kidman to play the role.

It's a lukewarm movie not intending to generate any publicity. It's certainly not a break out for its director. Maybe it is too safe to be memorable so to speak.

You may give a shot with your spear time.

I have never been a fan of Demi Moore - I didn't get her appeal and was never impressed with her acting, but interestingly she was the thing I liked best about this movie. She is quite lovely, and her voice has lost that husky quality that I used to find so grating. Her acting was natural and subtle yet effective. Unfortunately, I don't have similar positive things to say about this movie. Baldwin is his typical blow-hard self, and his transformation from a frustrated, angry, and damaged tortured writer is not believable. He is also not believable as a romantic lead. Maybe he has done one too many Trump impressions, because his appeal at this point is just - "yuck".

The plot is schlocky and predictable, and the addition of the young man who initially volunteered to assist Baldwin's character only later to become his house boy/protégé was weak.

Over all a pretty bad B movie with A movie pretensions. The writing was weak and the plot was often silly and superficial.

I think the cast did a good job. I found the characters believable and I could feel their connection, so the movie was entertaining. I enjoyed the build up, and I enjoyed the ending. Would recommend this movie when you just want to be entertained and like the characters. I generally enjoy Moore and Baldwin movies, and this also gets my vote.

Not an Oscar winner but a nice movie to watch while having a glass of wine at home. The acting was great and the story was believable and yet simple. Makes you see life in a different way. You never know what tomorrow brings
