Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
joeconners This movie just cannot decide what genre it wants to be....and is unsuccessful as any of them, particularly comedy or drama. The story begins with a sudden death and the efforts of the widow's friends to console her. Following this is a long line of inane, mostly pointless interactions with no clear plot, and a lot of what we would probably all consider as socially inappropriate dialogue and behavior. The scene in the cemetery put me over the top in thinking the script was totally to blame for creating a cinematic disaster. It is a total flop as an upmarket film, lacking depth, lacking believability about the roles the characters are in, and the cherry on top is a weird appearance/role by Bob Jovi. Did someone really spend millions on this thinking it was artful? OMG
sstuart3-1 It's hard to rate this movie because it had such a terrific cast. The script was dreadful, stupid, silly. You shouldn't actually have to lose a husband to see the absolute falseness of the script. But to cast these great actresses in that story and require that they say those lines was an appalling waste. It is a tribute to their skill that the movie was even possible to watch at all. They did the best they could, but I found it painful to watch, not because I found the story touching but because it was so embarrassingly shallow. You can be sad and funny without being trivial. There are plenty of movies out there to prove it.
ivana-7 The movie is showing that in only one split of a second your whole life can change.I was very suprised by the acting of Jon Bon. I thought he was gonna suck but he is a very good actor at least better then... let sayAnd Paltrows acting is much better then now that she has that golden boy, I think his name is .........Oscar???
Jonathan Doron The movie does not leave you with anything, and it seems as though it wanted to. Gwyneth is annoying as usual; her character is to blame too. Whoopi is vivid and charming. Kathleen's character is interesting and real. It sounds like a list, and the movie also does. As Elizabeth Perkins character, it is too neat and structured. The movie's name Moonlight and Valentino makes you expect Bon Jovi to come and effect something, but all he does -after much too long in the film- is steer Elizabeth to a scene that may have worked in the play the movie is based on, but I'm not so sure. All in all: uneven. Most of the time I wanted to see these characters in different situations, perhaps doing something or saying anything. The small storylines are interesting than Elizabeth dealing with the death of her husband: Whoopi and her husband (uncredited Peter Coyote), and Gwyneth and Kathleen. Liked hearing REM's Strange Currencies at the background, and Canda's beautiful.
