Trevor J A fantastic little curio. Christopher Walken and Jonathan Pryce in a romcom together, come on! Okay, it's not funny but it has that easy 90s charm that films had before the age of the dreaded CGI. You know what I'm talking about. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Torn between two assholes... everyone is a loser in this film. No one turns out to be a decent human being and "romantic comedy" is a complete misnomer. It's neither romantic nor terribly funny and manages only meandering disappointment. Woman leaves jerk for someone better, becomes independent person again, someone better suddenly becomes jerk 2.0, woman takes back original jerk. No one learns from any of this. Why? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It had everything in it to make a great movie--literary characters, the lovely Carole Bouquet, a London setting (Soho yet!), and Chris Walken saying, 'Hello, dahlings!' But it just didn't take off. I'm giving it 3 stars because of Walken's tango. And the way he wears a suit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
