An Unfinished Life (2005)
oh my god, this movie sucks
robert redford is such a great actor. but someone point out any movie where jennifer lopez was in any danger of being nominated for an academy award! this was terrible and a formula movie that i only watched because of my respect for redford. jennifer lopez is a terrible actress. hell, even calling her an actress is an insult to all actors. there is fame, and there is talent. talent's shadow has never fallen on miss lopez. she should go back to bad singing. and with all due respect mr redford, read the script first and do not sign onto any more badly written movies like this. you are better than this badly written, formula trash... did this movie even have a writer? a 1 rating is too kind.
Molly (1999)
I liked it the first time as "Charly", the film adaptation of Flowers for Algernon
This movie is more like Flowers for Algernon (by Daniel Keyes) than Rain Man. Heck, anyone who has read Flowers for Algernon can tell that Dick Christie probably read it too before he wrote Molly.
The difference here is that at the end Molly seemed to feel some sense of sadness, like a loss she could not quite put her finger on. While at the end of Flowers for Algernon, Charlie did not know he had lost anything.
Dick Christie did not write this movie as much as he read Flowers for Algernon, made small changes, like changing the lead from male to female, and then claimed it as his own work.
Anyone who has ever read Flowers for Algernon or seen the award winning 1968 movie Charly will understand what I am saying. That was awesome and perfectly done.
A few positive things I can add is that I do think Elizabeth Shue did a fine acting job as Molly and it was on par with the 2000 TV version of Flowers for Algernon with Matthew Modine. Maybe even better.
