There are so many reasons for my 10 rating - would be more if it were possible. Acting and actors are perfectly matched/selected - even the "unknown." Accents and language barriers handled very well. Perfectly handled are the depictions of diversity - all expertly, carefully, and tastefully handled. Whether race, sexual orientation, religious, disability, marital status, or ethnicity. Nothing is exaggerated, overplayed/acted, or pushed in any way. It is there and explained as necessary and no one is exploited or made to feel uncomfortable. The American government and world situations are all again handled expertly and you are made to experience what is going on even in very gruesome situations without the actually brutality being unnecessarily shown. Above all it is a series which the entire family of all ages can view. Marriage and family life is depicted expertly once again without having to be explicit - you know what's going on in both good and bad times. It is very refreshing that there is no constant foul language used. It takes no intelligence to use foul language. Some of the other series, i.e., The Diplomat, where constant dropping of the "F" bomb is ever present and annoying. That series would have been better off not doing so and also eliminating the semi-explicit sexual scenes. Madam Secretary also handles faith & spiritual situations very well without being overbearing. The series is very refreshing in showing intelligence, kindness, forgiving, understanding, mistakes, all life situations extraordinarily well. Bottom line, highly recommend.
Didn't expect much from this movie and I wasn't disappointed. There are no deep plots or characters in this movie. Plus, while it is really rather predictable, it is still watchable.
The movie is an interesting portrayal of a women who is 30 years older than her paramour, is lost, and mixed up emotionally. It is pleasant to see that the age factor isn't mentioned and the they just go with it.
The young man is a disgruntled ambitious worker with a rather weak and annoying girlfriend. She is a status and fun seeker and does get on your nerves..
The scenery is interesting and the Kasbah is beautiful and makes you want to visit and stay for a while.
If you are looking for a different kind of romance movie to while away 1.5 hours, you won't be disappointed.

What a shame. Such a shame. I was expecting so much more, even half of my expectations would have been good; however, this series falls shamefully short. From the stupid, annoying & untalented barmaid Eve (Jess. Salquerio) to the aging, silly, drunken gay "professor" Alan (Nicholas Lyndhurst) it is barely palatable. Frederick and David are almost tolerable, but primarily portrayed as wannabes and who knows who or what they wannabe. Frasier's character is still good, but not good enough to carry the show. He was surrounded by people who lack any semblance of the ability to act, much less the ability to convey any true humor or comedy.. With the right actors, this show would have had the potential to be an excellent follow-up to the original Frasier. Despite an attempt to spark any comedy with the appearance of Lilith, it still fell short. Close, but still short. As far as David, Niles's son, he does appear to have some of the same idiosyncrasies that his dad has, but again, falls short.
