Un rôle pour la vie

This is a charming film about an actress who stomps off set and ends up in a small steel town without a dime to her name.

The plot of the film somewhat anticipates Notting Hill, with the female celebrity falling for a civilian.

No one recognizes her and through the kindness of strangers, makes her way to new friends and relationships.

The two leads have definite chemistry and their acting is natural and easy going.

The film is charming and, although a bit predictable, there are some good sub-plots.

The setting is quaint and it is always fun to watch these 80s films to see the culture.

It was a fun watch.

I am really sorry but this is one of worse movies ever...

Artificial ,unrealistic, neither comedy or a drama... I wonder how movies like that can be made. Even a child with 10y old would have more talent do direct.

And no acting talent..at all !!! What lack of...everything!

Im really sorry for my nasty comment but I really do think reflects the reality. We as a Telespectators should actually receive a payment for watching such a movie.

OK, this isn't CINEMA!

But it is a very pleasant simple little sort of romcom/dramette.

I am always amazed at how effortlessly Sela Ward seems to carry most anything - and it's not just her very good looks, as an actress she always brings a certain resonant authenticity to even a simple little flick like this.

Will you enjoy this? Hey, for a nice break from the super-serious, I think you will.

I just finished watching this painful Sunday film. My son was married on Saturday, and I was too tired to leave the couch and to click the remote. What a simple, predictable story. I never liked Sela Ward, who is one of the worst actors ever. Even a ton of red lipstick does not help. Anyone who knows mill workers, especially steel workers, sees the flaws in this. First of all, a steel town is not a charming, storybook place to live. Bowling, community theatre, a cozy dinner place at film's end were silly. In this economy Hollywood money would not save a dying industry! And the workers in line for splinter-in-the-butt removal and other such ailments -- dumb, dumb, dumb! Hiring her as a nurse in a steel mill where serious accidents DO happen was unreal and dangerous. And that white-haired, panty-waist Ben -- was that his name? What a crummy job acting! His supposed-to-be dynamic speeches and serious looks were hilarious, and Ward's portions were miserable. Near the end when the assortment of characters was-were speaking - ugh! How bad was that? And Fran -- horrible acting. What a way to end a perfect weekend. This destined for a tour of Lifetime film is awful so do not waste your time. It was not even sleep-inducing -- way more painful than "a splinter in the butt"! I cannot believe I actually wrote that stoopid word I never say. See what this did to me. Avoid this garbage.

The scene in the railway station is really touching. We all have a moment in life...
