Playing by Heart

Summary: An excellent, thought-provoking, romantic story!
Review: I had wanted to see this movie for so long, but I was afraid that I had my hopes too high. I needent have worried - this movie far exceeded my expectations. There were so many things happening and such a range of emotions; this movie covered so much in so little time and yet everything still entwined together in the end. Gillian Anderson and Anjoline Jolie gave especially superb performences. This movie is a truely excellent and thought-provoking romantic story! -Kelly

Summary: This is a wonderful analysis of real relationships.
Review: Who could resist this movie? The cast has some of the most talented actors of this century. Sean Connery shows us his compasionate side, Gillian Anderson shows us her soft side, Angelina Jolie shows us why she will be the actress of the new millenium, and Jon Stewart shows us he can act. And they are just four out of the bunch! There were moments when I cried my eyes out, and there were moments that had me skipping through the isles. This movie was a wonderful emotional ride through the trials and tribulations of love. I would recommend that anyone who is scared of committing to a relationship, see this movie, it will make you change your mind in a heart-beat!

Summary: Very fun and true to form
Review: I actually participated in the making of this movie. I was sad to see the poor marketing by Miramax. This movie has such a wide variety of well known actors it's hard to imagine that it can be anything else but great. All of the stars played their parts beautifully.

Summary: Angelina shines
Review: I admit I am a bit biased when it comes to Angelina Jolie, I simply adore her. But for good reason. She is simply an amazing actress, and that only proves to be true once again in this movie. I enjoyed all the performances in this movie, but this one is worth checking out for Angelina alone.

Summary: What tripe!
Review: At the end of the two hours I wasted watching this manipulative, meaningless, maudlin movie, I wished I had those two hours back. It was a tear-jerker in the worst way; it was obviously going for the two-Kleenex box crowd, but brought only a little nasal congestion (no tears) to my usually highly-emotional girlfriend, and I felt sad in exactly one spot of the movie. About 1 hour and 59 minutes prior to the end of the movie, we both knew the underlying theme of the movie, and how it would end. The characters are all distinctive, but contrived. The only bright spot is Sean Connery, who can do no wrong. RUN (do not walk) away from the shelf in the video store where this video is lurking - waiting for some poor, unsuspecting victim to walk by.
