Summary: BORING EYE CLOSING YOU DONT NEED SLEEPING PILLS
Review: I was totally bored and just to think i wasted money at the dollar theather to go see this junk. The only reason I didnt walk out was because of the free air conditioning in the theather. JUNK JUNK JUNK! Didnt make any sense what so ever. I cant believe it made the big Screen. It wasnt even good enough for TV. I love the actor Alec Baldwin, but this movie i advise him not to put on his resume.

Summary: Prelude to a Kiss
Review: Okay, okay, I'll give it to everyone that there's a plot twist within this movie that's "a little hard to swallow" but as far as romantic comedies go, you can't go wrong here. Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan play their roles perfectly and it's nice to see people that are more human than the typically "perfect" people we've gotten used to in the movies. Add to that some great writing and you'll not only enjoy this film as a romantic comedy...it may just stick with you afterwards as the onion layers peel away and the meaningful depths become a way for you to relate to your own life. See if you don't learn something more about the meaning of that complex four-letter-word "love". Enjoy.

Summary: ROMANTIC FANTASY ABOUT SOUL MATES...
Review: Peter Hoskins (Alec Baldwin) and Rita Boyle (Meg Ryan) meet at a party, and it is practically love at first sight. After a whirlwind courtship. they decide to get married. At their wedding, an old man (Sydney Walker) wanders in and kisses the bride. Suddenly, Rita's body is occupied by the spirit of the old man, while Rita's spirit is consigned to the body of the old man. On their honeymoon Peter senses that something is not quite right about Rita. It is inexplicable to him that he could have been so mistaken about her. Gone is the Rita with whom he fell in love, his soul mate replaced by a virtual stranger housed in Rita's body. It is from this premise that an allegory on love flows beautifully throughout this film and serves as an insightful commentary on the nature of true love. When Peter finally is able to figure out what has happened, he contrives to find away a way for Rita to come back to him as she was. You see, he does not love the "new" Rita. As lovely as she is, she is not the Rita with whom he fell in love. It is now the old man with whom he has an affinity. It is the old man whose company he now enjoys. What happens and why certainly gives the viewer food for thought as to the nature of true love. Very well acted by Alec Baldwin, Meg Ryan, and Sydney Walker, this is a utterly charming and touching romantic fantasy. The strong supporting cast of Patty Duke, Ned Beatty, Stanley Tucci, and Kathy Bates serve to round out this excellent and entertaining film.

Summary: Love this movie!
Review: This is one of my favorite movies ever, in no small part due to the chemistry between Meg Ryan and Alec Baldwin. The imperfections of the love between Peter and Rita are what make the relationship more endearing than the unrealistic sap usually offered up in movies (of course it was a stage play originally). Don't get me wrong, this movie if definitely off-the-hook but it is so wonderful to experience a film that doesn't insult our intelligence and at the same time offers up a truly unique and romantic storyline that I simply can't say enough about it. The scenes with Peter and the "old man" are hilarious; the actors create a believable reality that takes you on a strange but lovely ride through their lives. Some people do not "get" this movie, but if you have an off-beat sense of humour and enjoy movies that do too, get comfy, turn down those lights and snuggle up to someone special...or take hope that someday you will meet your Peter or Rita too.

Summary: Prelude to a Kiss
Review: This movie grabbed my attention right away, and kept me wondering about the plot the entire time. It was intriguing and very original. However, the resolution and the ending were a little hard to swallow, and I wasn't sure I'd watch it again. If you're a fan of Meg Ryan, however, it's an interesting roll to see her in.

Summary: A Love Story with an Enchanting Twist - Don't Miss It
Review: We all know that love should be more than just physical attration, and yet few movies go beyond surface appearance and sugar-coated banter. Prelude to a Kiss is the wonderful exception. It takes us beyond the usual preditable plot and gives us a rare insight into what is really important in love.
An enchanting and well-wrought script supported by excellent performances, this movie speaks to any who listen with their head and heart.
Humor, magic, and mystery are interwoven as a husband searches for his wife who is missing but still there. I don't want to give the plot away. Watching the story unfold is part of the movie's charm. I will say that you will be surprised and, I hope, moved by the story and message this fine piece of filmaking brings to us. One of my all time favorites. Don't miss it.

Review: Well worth the money just for Debbie Harry's title track, the others put in decent enough contributions but Ms Harry once again saves the day.

Summary: Oh....my...
Review: Well, this one is a charmer. Silly plot on the surface, but touches on some deep issues regarding love, and the nature of it. Alec Baldwin is superb as the lovesick, then profoundly heartbroken newlywed. The moment when he realizes, truly, that Rita....isn't Rita, and says "I'm on to you"....will make you cry. I'm an Alec Baldwin fan, I admit, but he is so breathtakingly, stunningly, mindbogglingly beautiful to look at in this film he's almost hard to watch....it's almost painful. Cripes, does he have the most beautiful face on the planet, or what...and that astonishingly thick, cowlicky head of hair....and....and...um..I digress. See it ladies, it will make you ache in the most pleasant way...its a keeper.
