The Object of Beauty

Jake and Tina are living a lavish life in a top London Hotel, only they're living way beyond their means, their only asset, is Tina's limited edition Henry Moore figurine. It disappears from the hotel, suspected is new maid Jenny, who took a shine to it.

I understand why it has a relatively low score, and I get it, but I rather enjoyed it, it's quite unlike anything else I've seen.

It's a real fusion of styles, yes it's a drama, but it's a comedy, it's a romance, it definitely crosses the genres. The burning question, the main thing I wanted answered, why did she take it?

Jake and Tina are two very spoiled adult children, they have no respect for one another, no regard for one another, I don't even think they like eachother, you have to wonder how on Earth they got together.

Delightful performances from the leading stars, John Malkovich and a radiant Andie MacDowell are both terrific, she edges it for me, Bill Patterson and Joss Ackland are both quite wonderful.

I've heard this described as an underrated gem, not sure I'd go that far, but it's definitely worth seeing.

7/10.
