Like I am going to see this movie!

Well, the 8-year-old son, played by Erik Per Sullivan, was very cute.
Malcolm in the Middle bump.

Perhaps I'm just an old prude, but today's movie sex scenes bother me a great deal. Nothing is private any more. I don't see the difference between watching this stuff on the screen and watching through your neighbor's window. There are hardly any movies one can take the whole family to see.

Speaking of bad movies - I've seen the previews of the new animated film about the wild stallion, and from what I can tell, all the white men are evil animal abusers, and the Native Americans are kind, gentle animal lovers. I'll pass.

It is no wonder the plot sounds like a retooled Fatal Attraction....it is directed by the same director, Adrian Lyne.

There's no real suspense.
The plot moves at a glacial pace.
The characters do stupid things for no good reasons.
Instead of caring about the main characters, you just kind of feel soiled and embarrassed by them, and vaguely apprehensive about what mistakes they'll make next.

Hey, for the exact same experience, just head down to the video store and rent:

At least you'll have Michelle Pfeiffer to look at...

For the life of me, I can't understand what would be the point of going to see a movie that painfully portrays the destruction of a family. Watching someone's wife soil herself with another man isn't entertainment to me. If I want sex I can find the real thing, I don't need to see it denegrated in this manner.

Is this supposed to be edifying? Is it supposed to be enlightening? Is it supposed to be an offering of eroticism?

Well, needless to say I don't need your review to know that I won't be wasting my time on this junk. But I do think you've made it clear for anyone who might entertain the thought of viewing this tripe. Let's hope they're listening. As far as I am concerned Richard can take his collective movie efforts and stuff them where the sun don't shine. I had thought Diane Lane had a little more sense than to involve herself in this type of stuff. Evidently I was wrong.

Thing is, going in, you have to PAY ME to see movies about adultery. And then I skip the movie and see Lord of the Rings again anyway. (c8

Is this a remake of TS Garp?

If I were a movie critic, I would use the "Watch" system instead of the star system. One watch symbol for each time I looked at my watch during the movie.

The more watches at the end of my review, the worse the movie. I remember Nashville being an "8" watcher. Actually, it might have deserved more, but I walked out on it after the first twenty hours or so were over with no apparent end in sight.
