Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the most favourite film of me at Saturday Afternoon!
Review: the performance of Audrey in this film is let you feel her acting performance is mellow before she retire. I remember a lot of conversation of Ms. Hepburn and Finney.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exquisite
Review: Undoubtedly Hepburn's most accomplished performance but ironically, one of her least known films. This has been my favourite film for many years not least because of the memories it brings back of family driving holidays in France. Finney is miscast and a bit clumsy but the evocative music and sharp script lift it above such minor problems. This is Hepburn's film, however, and she should have been Oscar nominated for this rather than her other 1967 movie, Wait Unitl Dark. For someone criticised for being a limited actress, she somehow manages to express the gamut of emotions ranging from a naive young girl to an embittered wife. She is exquisite. This movie should be watched by all hopeless romantics on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Preferably with someone you love.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: It grows on you...
Review: This is one of those movies that really grows on you as it progresses. At first, I found the interactions between Mark and Joanne very stilted and superficial (the whole passport gag got so overdone it was ridiculous). But as we got to know each character better, I began to identify with characteristics in each one. By the end of the movie, even my boyfriend was watching with rapt attention. As the credits rolled, he turned to me and said, "That's you and me!"

And it's true because it's a timeless story with a timeless theme. People change, and to be able to change in step with another person is a hard thing. Two for the Road is a very frustrating movie to watch because you end up identifying with one character but seeing the other character's point, thus realizing that you actually understand your spouse/significant other's point of view when you don't really want to. Bravo Mr. Donen for such an enduring film. Bravo Ms. Hepburn and Mr. Finney for showing us ourselves.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a heartbreaking and hopeful journey
Review: this film conveys the longing, hope and sadness of a married couple grappling with adulthood and its disappointments. Perhaps the most bittersweet evocation of love and marriage ever captured on film. It is a poetic, cinematic and dramatic masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a movie that is turly a counter culture experience
Review: A movie that states that often personal happyness of each individual in a relationship needs to be suborned to the interest of the relationship, that adultery is wrong, and were neither partner is all evil nor an innocent a victim. Also a movie that treats the viewer as an intelligent adult, capable of putting together the pieces of a mosaic, and not child to which the movie is merely a very long ad for the vidio game. You might think could not be made You would be wrong. Given the time in which was made, the late sixtys the theme is down right subverslve. Unfortunately swiming against the tide, in this case did not lead to commercial success. In all other ways is a masterpiece. The script is wonderful, the acting incredible, and direction is intellgent, an a hunting score. Even the fad of moment type american characters sever to add a bit of light humor to the movie, and are the perfect foil for Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finny. Both of whom should have be nomintated of oscars.

Note: stanly donen pictures did not pay for this review

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a movie about people
Review: If one is sick of or has out grown star wars this is movie to get. In it one will find a script, incredible acting, and a director that treats the view like adults. One can not watch this movie like a mindless spong, one must insteed view it like a mosasic. In which each sap shot of the relationship between the Audrey Hepburn and Albert finny, presented in non linnier way creates a view of a relationship. Plase note anyone the does not think Audrey hepburn was one the film actress and most stunning woman of the century has not seen this film

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true classic.
Review: TWO FOR THE ROAD had been nearly forgotten except by a few film buffs until Audrey Hepburn's untimely death. People are discovering it and finding it ageless for a number of reasons. The theme of a marriage changing through the years is a well-understood premise. It could be predictable were it not for the wonderful acting by the entire cast, primarily Albert Finney and Ms. Hepburn. Eleanor Bron and William Daniels are a terrific pair of American snobs who join them through a period of their adventure in marriage. The ingenious filmic vehicle(s) that moves the characters through various periods in time is unexpected and beautifully manuevered by the film's tender and loving director, Stanley Donen. Anyone who accuses Donen of being a one trick pony (Singin' in the Rain) should SEE THIS FILM!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: an incredibly romantic story.
Review: This is movie about a couple who have been married for 12 years who learn they are in love. Albert finney is soild, but let us face it your watch an audrey hepburn movie for Ms. Hepburn.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most romantic movie I have ever seen.
Review: I first viewed this film as a sixteen year old who had taken her grandmother to the movies on a Sunday afternoon. It has stayed with me for years. Later on, during a stressful period, It as re-released in theaters and after years of watcing the video on Saturday night, I again experienced this film in a Greenwich Village theater. It was a dual show with Marion and Robin (Hepburn and Connery).

There was not a dry eye in the house. The format by Donan is sparkling, mystifying and magical. The dialogue is witty, whimsical and very entertaining. The scenery alone is worth viewing. (The film is shot mainly in France). If you are young at heart and wish to remember what early love, as well as years of marriage mean, view this film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A romantic yet heartbreaking look at marriage
Review: It's funny, clever, stylish and realistic. The pairing of the etheral, elegant Audrey and the down to earth Albert exemplfies what draws them together and what pulls them apart. Everyone should see it.
