Bed & Breakfast

This is one of the best romantic comedies I have seen. More of a romantic, and less of a comedy, never the less, Roger Moore is brilliant in his role of a "handy-man". The storyline is fine, and there are many moments in the movie that are simply very enjoyable. The performance is great, and the events and character's feelings in this movie are excellently backed up by David Shire's music. Overall, the movie and the music is great. I saw this movie on a local TV once or twice. Too bad I couldn't find this movie anywhere to buy, and after finding out that it had a very limited release on VHS/DVD... I think it's just too bad, because this is a movie worth having in the collection.

I've got two favorite Robert Ellis Miller films - "Hawks" (featuring Timothy Dalton) and "Bed & Breakfast" (featuring Roger Moore , Colleen Dewhurst and Talia Shire) which originally was considered as a TV movie , but it was found very interesting so it was shown at cinemas. (The film was made in 1989 but it was first shown in 1992.)I'm not surprised because it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. Whole cast is just great but especially Roger Moore who proves that he's someone more than the Saint or Bond. He's a great actor.

Roger Moore (who, incidentally, has always been my favorite Bond)gives a relaxed and enjoyable performance, and he seems to be in surprisingly good shape, too, considering his age. But the rest of the film is dull, awkwardly directed, with a needless "crime movie" subplot. Talia Shire gives her typical performance.

This is a very fine movie which stars my favourite actor, Roger Moore, after seing this movie i realised Roger Moore is the finest actor ever. Moore lights up the screen, he was great in the lead role. This movie is a dramatic one and it`s one of those you remember afterwards and enjoy watching, it`s filled with great landscapes, fine music and a great dialougue which couldn`t have been portrayed better then it has been done here. The movie senter around a family of grandmother, mother, daughter and the unknown man which enters there lifes and turn it upside down. Roger Moore is great and extremely handsome of course.

"Bed & Breakfast" is a film that you'd assume would be pretty bad. After all, it has a score of 5.4 on IMDB...which is well below the IMDB average. However, I was shocked that I really enjoyed the film...even though some might hate that it's a bit predictable. But to me, that predictability isn't a bad thing...sort of like a romance novel that leaves you feeling good.

Three generations of women live in a house they use as a B&B in Maine. However, they are three miserable women. Ruth is the grandma (Colleen Dewhurst) is old...but longing for excitement, love and sex...but she's afraid it's all passed her by. Claire (Talia Shite) is the mother...and she's very uptight about sex and carries her dead husband's memory with her everywhere. And, Cassie (Nina Siemaszko) is Claire's daughter...and she longs to leave the repressive home, as her mother finds fault with so much that Cassie does. However, when a stranger literally washes up on the shore, this unusual man (Roger Moore) ends up impacted all three of their lives for the better.

Predictable? Sure...often. But romantic movies usually have a certain amount of formula to them...so I could forgive this. I liked the acting, the nice story and the way the film worked out at the end. A nice date movie...or just a nice movie.

By the way, this was Colleen Dewhurst's last film and it debuted just after her death. It's a nice ending to her long career.
