Lives of the Saints (2004)
Eh...
First of all, I must applaud Sophia Loren and Sabrina Ferilli for their impeccable performances! But the movie was... "eh." It could have been so much better. The story had a lot of potential but the movie was just too weak. Although Fabrizio Filippo's(who is v. gorgeous, btw) talent is evident, as much as I wanted to, I didn't sympathize with his character, Vittorio. As a matter of fact, I didn't sympathize with most of the characters in this movie. The movie had a very good, intriguing start with Loren and Ferilli. Then as the movie progressed, the story just became cold. A lot of information was lacking, the pace became too fast later on in the movie that the viewers were never really given a chance to care for any of the characters. Especially Jennifer Pare's character, Rita. How unlikable. She was just portrayed as an incestuous turbo-skank. I thought this was going to be another "Thorn Birds," but it just ... stunk. I'm sorry Fab(call me!), Sophia, Sabrina. It had an outstanding and an extremely talented cast, but this movie blows. Daryl Duke, who is a fellow Canadian and the director of "Thorn Birds," should have directed the movie. He could teach Jerry Ciccoritti a thing or two about film-making. I must also blame the writers. *shudder* What a disappointment.
