Summary: interesting...not much more to say
Review: okay, i've read most of the other reviews for this movie and had high expectations for it. i mainly wanted to see it for jon bon jovi, maybe because he is really HOT. anyway, i was a little disappointed, but it was an overall job well done. i'm just going to state the fact that i'm only a teenager, which explains why i found a couple of scenes awkward. to make it short and simple, i would recommend that you only watch this movie before you turn out the lights to make it more interesting. in my opinion of course, you may have your own

Summary: Interesting mystery story
Review: Rocker Jon Bon Jovi shines as leading man Robin Grange in "The Leading Man." Grange is in London to star in "The Hit Man," a new play by playwright Felix Webb. Webb is married but having an affair with Grange's leading lady. To take some of the heat off Webb, Grange offers to start up a romance with Webb's wife, Elena. Elena transforms from a rejected housewife to a passion-filled woman as her affair with Grange ignites. Grange, however, is also putting the moves on his costar, much to the chagrin and jealousy of Webb. In Webb's eyes, Grange has stolen the affection of both his wife and mistress and Webb seeks revenge. The denouement is similar to "Death Trap" or an episode of "Murder She Wrote." But an interesting ending, nonetheless. Cameo appearance by Nicole Kidman.

Summary: A wife's sweetheart, a husband's lover
Review: Successful playwright Felix Webb (Lambert Wilson) has a new play, 'The Hit Man', in rehearsal. Directed by his old friend Humphrey (Barry Humphries), it is already being hailed as a masterpiece; but Felix can't enjoy his success. He has fallen passionately in love with Hilary (Thandie Newton), a beautiful, feisty young actress, and is preparing to desert his perfect family his wife Elena (Anna Galiena) and three lively children. His intolerable situation is further complicated when Humphrey casts Hilary as one of the leads in 'The Hit Man'.Enter Robin Grange (Jon Bon Jovi), a charismatic young Hollywood actor making his London theatre debut. Robin is attractive, charming and dangerous, and soon inveigles his way into everyone's life. He ingratiates himself with the cast and, quickly grasping Felix's dilemma, set about weaving his web of mischief. He suggests that if he were to seduce Elena, she would be distracted from Felix's affair, regain her self-respect, and perhaps even willingly part from the unfaithful husband to whom she clings. Initially Felix is outraged but as the tension mounts with Hilary, reluctant to continue as the second woman in his life, he succumbs. Watching in horror as Elena responds to Robin's perfectly plotted seduction, and tormented with suspicions that Hilary has also fallen under Robin's spell, Felix spirals towards a kind of madness. Desperate to regain control of his life, he indulges in a grand theatrical gesture, but fate intervenes, and both Felix and Robin learn that real life doesn't always allow the script.

Summary: regrettable
Review: the mystery of why anyone would cast jovi
in the lead cannot be answered by watching
this movie. just being a celeb doesn't give
you the acting chops necessary to hold up your
end in the company of established performers.
the faltering screenplay didn't help matters
either. altogether regrettable

Summary: The Leading Man Is A Must -See Film!
Review: This is one of those movies I've found that once you watch, you want to own it...Jon not only did a fantastic job, but was also very believable as Robin Grange...There truly are not enough stars that you can give this movie on here, but if you don't own this one, you should buy it.

Summary: Jon Bon Jovi is HOT!!!
Review: To all of the devoted fans of Bon Jovi - this movie is a MUST!!! I've been a fan of the band since they started and it was a whole new fan experience to watch him in this movie. His acting is great, but to watch him seduce the 2 women in this film just takes your breath away. It is a wonderful addition to any fan's collection.

Summary: Mid-Life Crisis and the 15-Year Itch
Review: To find humor in another failed show biz marriage, truth in the mythic casting couch, and honor among gentlemen is the gist of "The Leading Man." While hired to seduce the wife of the play's author, Felix Webb, Jon Bon Jovi as studly actor Robin Grange nearly charms the panties off the wife and mistress, not to mention eager groupies, the play's supporting female cast, and the casting coordinator. Smooth and deliberate, Grange as Bon Jovi portrays him has a mercenary backstage approach to career advancement in the theater that make his backstage manipulations of women live up to the play's title, The Hit Man. Thandie Newton as Hillary Rule, the play's ingenue is a believable, gullible, forgiving other woman, and mistress-in-training. Elegant Anna Galiena, the wronged wife makes out like a bandit snagging Robin and recycling her unfaithful straying husband (Lambert Wilson) to the younger woman. For once, the older beautiful woman gets the younger delicious man. The supporting cast of David Warner, Patricia Hodge, and Diana Quick are wonderful, snide, and gossipy observers to the kiss and bed rehersals, the theater parties, and off-stage performances. This film should receive more attention than it likely will, and when discovered, its audiences will return for encore after encore of solid acting and humor that it offers.
