Summary: Elizabeth Perkins!
Review: "Moonlight and Valentino" is a great film with an amazing
Elizabeth Perkins in the leading role. I think she gave a
very convincing performance in this drama. The rest of the
cast was also very good. I watched the film several times
and still love it. Worth Seeing!!

Summary: A contemporary classic
Review: Any of these girls (Gwyneth Paltrow, Kathleen Turner, Whoopi Goldberg) could well steal the movie from Elizabeth Perkins - but she got it back in the last few minutes. What I meant was they all gave unbelievably great performance. That, and other stuff (camera, music...) made this a must-see for viewers who hate wasting their time on overrated shallow "dramedies".

Summary: Emotionally Wrenching
Review: Elizabeth Perkins gives a tortured performance as a suddenly widowed woman who must find the courage to go on. Instead of getting bogged down in self-pity, the plot manages to also tackle the very different demons of the three most important women in her life. This movie is emotionally wrenching as each woman finds the courage to move ahead.If it is Jon Bon Jovi that you are renting it for, stick to his music videos - this movie isn't for you.

Summary: I Laughed I Cried
Review: Even though it was a bit predictable, this movie brought out many emotions. Being from a large family myself, I thought the differences in the sisters personalities and reactions was true to life. The incredibly cute painter and his dog did add a nice touch. He was a great help in a hard time. Everyone could use a person like this in their life. I highly recommend this movie to women everywhere. (Men you might want to be there for the after the movie cuddles from the females.)

Summary: Amateurish and boring; don't waste your time.
Review: I can't believe these glowing reviews. If I were a woman (I'm a gay guy however, for what it's worth - ha), I'd be offended to be represented by the lame, one-dimensional, self-absorbed, annoying characters that inhabit this snore-fest. With a cast like this (well, with the exception of Elizabeth Perkins who is a totally whiny, neurotic sad-sack in this movie... she's even irritating to look at) I thought it would be a decent film but I was WAY off. If you're in the mood for a great introspective film on love and loss, watch "Trois Couleurs: Bleu." If you want to see a cleverly composed movie about female camaraderie, there's always "Thelma and Louise." Those are two films that merit multiple viewings. But this?? Perhaps if you enjoy horrendously written, trite stabs at drama and even worse attempts at humor (the only time I laughed was when the dialogue got so bad I HAD to), you'd like this movie. Otherwise, don't waste your time, I beseech you. This is not a movie to watch while you are drinking a good wine. It's a movie to down a bottle of Mad Dog over to drown the realization that crap like this passes as art with some people.

Summary: My review...
Review: I enjoyed the movie. I rented to just to see Jon's performance, which he did very well! I'm not suprised because he is so talented. The story was very touching and I thought it was an overall good movie...more of a chick-flick.

Summary: IT WAS HORRIBLE
Review: I just saw this on TV and it was the worst!!!! That stupid tear drop the main character paints on her face at the end should have been there for the whole movie since all she f****ing did was cry. By the end of it it looked like even Whoopi Goldberg wanted to get away from her. This movie would have been a lot better if it had been called "Get Over It" instead and somebody dropped an anvil on the ugly main character's head halfway through. Then Gwyneth Paltrow and Kathleen Turner make a marionette out of her body and make her curl up into a ball and talk about how ugly and pathetic she is. Oh wait, then it would pretty much be the same movie again. Avoid this movie! I want my two hours back!!!!

Summary: Bad bad bad movie.
Review: I just wrote a review of How Stella Got Her Groove Back calling it a chick movie but a pretty good chick movie. This is a bad chick movie. This movie is so horrid that you want to know that everyone associated with this movie went on to become plumbers or electricians or anything but actors or actresses or directors or writers. There is nothing honest about this movie. The main character has a husband die in the first five minutes and she spends the rest of the movie being depressed about it, but you don't like her and you don't like the husband. Gwyneth Paltrow who admittedly was pretty good in Shakespeare in Love and Seven, is truly a horrid actress in this thing. Jon Bon Jovi is used for his physical attributes which is a novelty, but since I am a straight male, I don't really care (although I imagine that if I were a gay male or straight female I would be giving this movie three stars for Bon Jovi alone) Ultimately a movie in which a bunch of women sit around talking about their feelings - needs some feeling. All these women do is react and speak in the cliches of soap operas. By the end of this movie where they have some kind of pagan ceremony in the grave yard and it rains on them with folk music blaring in the soundtrack you are physically nauseous. Leave this movie alone. Let it rot, let it be forgotten.
