good. But, with you it's like dining in the most expensive
restaurant in the world. Of course, the service may be a little
slow..." – Daniella Eastman
Why watch this? This
is a very funny, and dark, rom-com.

Dad's Preview:
Perhaps this remake is a film only for Dudley Moore fans, but it
does have a wider appeal, thanks to the enticing Nastassja
Kinski. Moore excels playing the jealous husband - this film
takes that to new levels, aka INSANELY jealous. My really got a
kick out of seeing Moore's versions of his revenge plot
against his cheating wife played out, if only in his
mind. The actual plan, thank goodness, goes very
differently. There are some really hilarious moments
(namely the violin duel) that I know you will enjoy. |
