Melissa L @Agent99 Jul 2 I am so surprised to see the poor ratings for this movie on RT. I love '80s movies, and I hadn't seen this one before. I thought it was pretty good...well-acted with a good plot and a good ending. Maybe people here are used to watching garbage movies. I liked this movie, and I would recommend it...especially if you like '80s movies or Rob Lowe or Ally Sheedy. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 30 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores. See more Steve D 08/24/2023 Its star is too obnoxious to enjoy any of it. See more 03/29/2015 Ho hum story about ugly American Rob Lowe going to school at Oxford to be on their rowing team. It's a pretty standard story of Lowe being the brash outsider trying to work his way into posh society, getting in good with the snooty rowers and also trying to woo a Princess Stephanie of Monaco-like character played by Amanda Pays. Ally Sheedy plays an American girl also going to Oxford. The story is pretty dumb, but it's a good cast, which makes the film watchable. And even though this is a 80s style sudo-Brat Pack film, it doesn't really have that much of a 80s vibe to it, so I didn't even get all that good of a nostalgia kick from the film either. It's kind of funny to see a college age Julian Sands, who plays one of the nicer posh Brits. Alan Howard is also good a Lowe's very direct adviser. See more 08/10/2014 Not bad, but not particularly good either. I am just as ambivalent about Rob Low's character in the film. He is both likable, charming, determined, self-serving, manipulative and arrogant all at the same time. it is somewhat sweet that he loves this woman from afar and actually moves to another continent just to be with her, but he seems to have no real sense of morals other than "how do I get what I want?" as an anglophile, it upset me to see the stereotypical portrayal of almost all brits as humorless, stuffy, snobby assholes. good for Lowe fans, but little else. There is a quite young Julian Sands here too though. See more 07/24/2014 This has the plot of a horror movie, not a lighthearted romantic comedy. See more Read all reviews
