Me and Mrs Jones

Rating:
Summary: fantasy, but fun
Review: 'Me & Mrs Jones' is light, entertaining and romantic. It is well written, acted and filmed. Even the minor characters have personality. Though in todays world with security concerns, specificly our leaders it is unreal to believe the ease at which Harry Fletcher (Robson Green) gains access to the Prime Minister (Caroline Goodall), but if you put aside that, the movie is enjoyable from start to finish.

Summary: Woeful, yet hilariously bad!
Review: Ah telemovies - a constant source of hilarity for all!

If you want an excellent comedy - trying to be a...um..."dramatic romance", this is a sure winner. You'll be entertained by hilarious portrayals by a most odd and puzzling assortment of characters, pitiful screen writing and boring production design. The only redeeming performance is that of the brilliant Australian actor Phillip Quast. A telemovie for the ages!

Summary: Not a "Masterpiece," but nice, nonetheless.
Review: First aired on Masterpiece Theatre, this charming TV-movie stars Robson Green (Touching Evil, Reckless) and Caroline Goodall (The Mists of Avalon). Set in England, Green plays a tabloid reporter writing under the name "Mrs. Jones," who is assigned by his boss to try to get some dirt on the prime minister, Goodall. Ingratiating himself into her re-election campaign, he finds himself drawn to her, and must weigh his feelings against his assignment, while dodging the scrutiny of her staff.

It's a lovely, romantic movie, not to be taken too seriously. This point should be stressed as much occurs in the movie which takes a great deal of disbelief. Think of it as a modern fairy tale that sometimes surprises you. Well-acted by all, as I've come to expect from these productions, and Green and Goodall have nice chemistry together. In summary, it's fluff, but it's intelligent fluff.

[As a film note, both Keeley Hawes and Peter Firth (MI-5/Spooks television series actors) appear in this movie, although never in the same scenes.)
