For years now I have been wanting to write a review on this movie. I do not like to write spoilers because I do not like to dwell on the negative. After going to New York to see "The Producers" and seeing Matthew Broderick on stage it was only natural to watch the movie again. By the way, "The Producers" is hilarious. Matthew and Nathan Lane are great together!!!!!!!!! If you have the chance, go see it, don't miss! It was worth driving five hours, paying $95.00 a piece for a matinee, staying in a hotel over night, well if you can add... you got the picture. Pricey! But it was all worth it! Don't miss this one!
I had the imagine of Matthew Broderick as a young man or a boy from "War Games" and decided that he was too young for Meg Ryan. Well, she is one year older... Wooo! Then in "Glory" he was still young. I guess he does not show his age. He is a fabulous actor. I watched him on "The Actors Studio," and he a very cool guy. He sings beautifully in "The Producers."
Imagines from movies stick in our heads sometimes and give us a wrong perception of people. Well in the movie at hand he plays a normal guy. He is the most normal of all the characters. Meg Ryan (Proof of Life) had not played such a strange character since she did "Joe Versus the Volcano." The character as Leonard Maltin stated is "seriously disturbed.." Kelly Preston (For Love of the Game, Jerry Maguire) "Linda Green" was good. I feel that Kelly has a lot to give and has not found that great role yet! Like Renée Zellweger has found Bridget Jones. Tchéky Karyo (The Patriot) plays "Anton Depeux" the stereotype of foreigners that Hollywood has to do in every movie, which makes us foreign born American citizens pretty upset.
In conclusion, the cast is good. The story to me is very much like "French Kiss." I guess what bothers me is the notion that people will to go that extent for revenge! It is so unhealthy. Perhaps the reason that is not on my top ten list is because, the title does not go with the story. In any event the story does not flow. It is an okay movie. It is a sleeper in my video library!
