Summary: Can't Do That Anymore!
Review: Great fun picking out situations and saying "Can't Do That Anymore" Example - smoking on airplanes. See how many you can find and there are many.

Great 60's clothes - cars - music.

Hepburn and Finney at their young and loveliest. (Hard to believe this is the same bloke who is currently playing on HBO as Churchill in "Gathering Storm" - which is brilliant!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best
Review: I can't believe this film is not more famous. I had never even heard of it until I came on amazon to buy her other movies and saw it listed. I came upon it the other day in the video store and had to rent it. I was so impressed. This is now one of, if not my favorite Audrey movie. This is a movie like no other Audrey had ever made. The only downs to the movie are the poor editing job in one scene where Audrey is running from the side and is suddenly cut into the middle of the frame. The other is Audrey's other romantic interest half way through the film, the directors should have found someone better. These minor mistakes, however, do not take away from the overall movie. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when she said "bastard" to Finney in the most loving way. I have noticed in many of her contemporary romantic films she says one word in just the perfect way, she says it softly as she exhales and it just comes out wonderfully. Look for the words, you'll find them. This is a movie any Audrey fan must see!

Summary: The Perfect Film
Review: How can I explain this film. Think Hepburn, Finney, Donen and music by Mancini. Then set the scene, French countryside and most wonderful supporting cast..Eleanor Brohn and William Daniels..let's not leave out Ruthie. Bittersweet, love that seems so wrong but is so right. Haunting words, blended with music that stays with you always. Dialogue that pops into your mind, at different times.."what kind of people don't talk to each other in restaurants?"..."Married people" and you will find yourself thinking of this when you look around a restaurant at your fellow diners.

Hepburn is at her most beautiful, charming, sophiscated, sexy, mature, and gentle. Finney is a bastard! so full of himself, but loves her always, as long as he gets his way (and aren't most men like that?)The most amazing cinematic moment comes when Finney confronts Hepburn and her lover...and the ensuing scene will break your heart and then take you to laugther. Way to go Mr. Donen!

Kudos to all who were involved and have left us this most beautiful film. It is timeless!

After watching over and over through the years, I still see something new, something that makes me smile, laugh and shed a tear. This movie defines why you have to work at marriage when the other partner doesnt work as hard. We have all been there!
Take the time, spend a few hours, and then sigh at something most wonderful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: unlike any other hepburn pic
Review: The cinematography is amazing for its' time. The screenplay is amusing. As in other Hepburn vehicle's love tends to play a major role, but it is the question of cynicism in regards to love and all that it entails which makes the picture something to watch. Love is never perfect of course, but for all its' ups and downs it's a wonderful place to be in when truly fealt.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: girl in a sportscar...
Review: at first, i didn't really get this film(you have to pay attention to the plot,not just at audrey!) but after countless viewings, i have to say it's one of audrey's best films. it's not as glossy as charade and funny face but everyone looks really hip and the film is very sixties, especially the scene on the riviera when albert finney picks up a faye dunaway-esque blonde in a sportscar. the film is also very funny and the supporting roles are excellent.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A 1967 Vogue Photo Shoot....Not a Movie
Review: The locations, the clothes, Audrey's hair - they all look fabulous. But this movie is a big SNOOZER! It's overly stylized and hard to follow - a 1960s movie experiment gone awry. It's different and modern for the sake of being different and modern, and nothing else. And, god forbid I should say this, but Audrey Hepburn is just horrible in this movie. She is so obviously ACTING - she's stiff and affected.

"Two for the Road" would have made a wonderful multi-page fashion spread in the June 1967 issue of Vogue, but as a full-length motion picture it's a big dud!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: hot diggity dog
Review: I really find it hard to think that anyone liked this movie. Maybe it's just me and my simple mind but I had a hard time following along. It's like trying to follow that kid through the maze in the shining. It'll drive you crazy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Audrey's Best!
Review: This film is absolutely wonderful! Although a bit on the depressing side, as the characters are cought in a marital rut. It also displays a lot of humor in the witty comments exchanged between the main characters, played by Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney. Unfortunately, it tells a lot of truth about marriage. "What kind of people just sit there and don't say a word to eachother", Finney's character asks. "Married people" Audrey answers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A sophisticated, bittersweet delight.
Review: Stanley Donen, after making some of the most delightful musicals of the 1950s (Singin' in the Rain, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers), followed up with some of the brightest, most sophisticated comedies of the 1960s (Charade, Indiscreet, Bedazzled). Two for the Road is one of his very best, a deft and occasionally acid comedy aided immeasurably by Frederic Raphael's witty, elegantly structured screenplay. The story follows a well-heeled English couple on the verge of divorce on a motoring trip through France; through flashbacks, it follows the same couple through several previous French excursions, including their impoverished but happy honeymoon and an ill-advised journey with the husband's brainless old girlfriend, her pompous husband and their toxic brat of a daughter. The screenplay is supremely astute in depicting how love can change--and sometimes die--through the vagaries of time and human nature; but it is also supremely romantic in allowing love to triumph in the end. The film's structure is graceful and fluid, if sometimes tricky. Audrey Hepburn, that most exquisite of actresses, was never more radiant than she was here, and Albert Finney displays his bull-in-a-china-shop charm at full force. Eleanor Bron and William Daniels are a scream as the loathsome, proto-yuppie traveling companions of Hepburn and Finney. Henry Mancini's lovely theme music and Saul Bass's imaginative title sequence add the finishing touches to a movie that is as delightfully bittersweet as a Tobler bar.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A WINNER ALL THE WAY
Review: Winnigly directed by DONEN,TWO FOR THE ROAD is full of beautiful vignettes and anecdotes that makes most couples everyday's life.The film shows what a film can do with a simple meaningful story ,and what a director can do if he is gifted and has a way with the visuals aspect of a motion picture.The casting of HEPBURN AND FINNEY works in a splendid way and is a perfect romantic pairing. Funny how the fashion of the time is well presented and has become nostalgic.I'm glad most reviewers liked that film.
