Much to like about this movie
|
There is a lot to like about this movie, for me chiefly the performances of Ryan Phillippe and Jon Stewart. Everyone in the cast is quite good, but these two stand out for me.
With Ryan Phillippe there is never a contrived or insincere moment. He's an actor who holds something back ... he allows us to feel there's more to discover about his character, some secret we can find if we look hard enough, something interesting. He and Angelina Jolie slip into a relationship that is poignant and romantic. I wonder what might have happened next.
Why has Jon Stewart never done another romantic role? ... he's engaging, likable, believable as a man who falls in love with a woman who turns out to be one of three daughters whose romantic entanglements, along with those of their parents, form the basis of the plot. He's without artifice, natural, real. It is our loss that Jon Stewart has chosen not to do more acting.
A nice little film, as good or better than so many being produced today. Released in 1998, it doesn't seem dated either in appearance or subject matter. |
