Rating: Summary: Lovely says it all Review: This movie is absolutly the best movie I have ever seen. It is sad, dramatic and (at times) funny. I am not very old and yet I love Sean Penn. He is the best actor. He is able to get so in-touch with the character you actually forget you are watching him at all. He is by far the greatest actor of all time. The fact that they had Robin Wright Penn act along side of him was brilliant. The two make a great duo and really bring the movie to life. Travolta also does a great job. It really touches the heart. You will laugh, you will cry, you will care. This movie is truly one of the greatest films of all time.
Rating: Summary: FUNNY FILM, GOOD ACTING, SOMEWHAT UNBELIEVABLE STORY Review: This was a good movie, Sean Penn was great, John Travolta was very funny, but the story was somewhat unbelievable. If you want to see some great Sean Penn flicks, check out the following: 1. Bad Boys (1983) 2. Colors (1988) 3. Carlito's Way (1993) with Pacino 4. Dead Man Walking (1995) 5. State of Grace (1990) 6. and my personal favorite, At Close Range (1986) with Chris Walken.All excellent. So is this one.
Rating: Summary: Robin Wright rocks! Review: Watch this movie if just to admmire Robin Wright's excellent performance in the first half. The second half didn't require that much acting from her. In fact, in my opinion, the whole movie falls apart after the point where Eddie is released from the institution. The first part of the movie really draws you in and it feels real. You may not admire the characters but it's an accurate depiction of how life is for some people. I consider this a very good, entertaining movie, compared to all the usual [stuff] that's out there.
Rating: Summary: In defence of She's So Lovely Review: What is it about a down and out romance like 'She's So Lovely' that seems to polarise an audience into those who see it as a trashy, confusing and unrealistic ride, and those of us that find it endearing, amusing and utterly, utterly charming. Perhaps we find a grain of truth within She's So Lovely that identifies with our own lives. Husband + wife team Sean + Robin Wright Penn deliver sterling performances and an unmistakable on-screen chemistry as they come to terms with their roller coaster relationship, and their sense of belonging in a changing society. Nobody plays the down on his luck,loveable loser quite like Penn, and Robin Wright Penn is a revelation as his ideal companion. This is the perfect antidote to all the high budget - low chemistry romance/dramas on the racks, combining superb acting and great dialogue, with an engrossing and uplifting story.
