Summary: A Walk On The Moon Is Superb Entertainment!
Review: Caught this movie on a recent Sunday afternoon on STARZ and thought it was excellent. I am a MAJOR Diane Lane fan since her appearance so long ago in A Little Romance which is in my top 25. This is great entertainment and she is cast as a bored housewife who hooks up with that way too HOT Viggo Mortensen. I guess this must have been a sleeper when it was released to theatres because I never heard of the film until recently. Viggo plays the usual "homewrecker", but in this case, with a little more heart. When Diane's son is stung by hornets later in the film, Viggo comes thru and eases the friction between Diane, her husband, and Viggo. If you're looking for something to make you glad there are good films out there, pick this up. Highly recommended!

Summary: A very enjoyable movie
Review: This movie reminded me of an old Joan Fontaine movie, Frenchman's Creek. It's based on the Daphne Du Maurier novel of the same name and was remade by PBS a few years ago for Masterpiece Theater. In the story, a noblewoman is at her summer home with her children while her husband is off tending to court matters. She becomes involved with a pirate and eventually has to choose between her family and a life of adventure with the handsome and free pirate. A Walk on the Moon was so similar I'm convinced the writer was inspired by Du Maurier's story. All of the perfomances were fantastic, and Diane Lane effectively conveys the angst of having to choose between adventure and security.

Summary: Diane Lane's prequel to "Unfaithful" is the better movie
Review: I saw "Unfaithful" before this, liked it very much then, and still do. But I wonder what kind of a review I would have given it if I had seen this movie first. It deals with the same topic, played by the same actress. Diane Lane is in a relatively stable marriage, but gets into a situation where she, let's say, wanders a bit. Which is followed by the inevitable discovery and dilemma of "What's next?". "Unfaithful"'s final third had an issue that I thought made it less of a good movie. In that one, an act of violence happens between two of the three of the triangle, and I thought too much time was spent focusing on that, instead of the meat of the story, which was the infidelity. This movie has no such problem. In both, the straying is discovered, and in both, there are decent "What now?" scenes. But this movie I think is better because there is no act of violence that becomes the unifying focus. The infidelity remains the main issue, and it's a greater writing challenge to settle the issue without the distractions the later movie brought. So this is the better Diane Lane infidelity movie. You also get to see Viggo Mortenson in a role drastically different from "G.I. Jane" or "The Lord of the Rings". From an interview I saw of him, his personality seems more in tune with "Walk on the Moon" that the other action films, which shows him as a pretty good actor.

Summary: Lots of Talent in an Overlooked Movie
Review: I chose this rental for the names - Diane Lane, Viggo Mortensen, and Tony Goldwyn. I'm not familiar with Liev Schreiber, but he ended up being quite good in a difficult role - the square/stodgy, yet emotionally honest cuckolded husband. I automatically deducted points because I have "issues" with nostalgic flicks about the late 60s/early 70s. This one wasn't too bad - they didn't ladle on the golden oldies too thickly, but the Woodstock scene was a bit contrived. I went to lots of other mega-concerts in the 70s, and they always ended up a sloppy uncomfortable mess, so I was too busy wondering how Mom and daughter managed to escape the place without being filthy and starving-hungry. Viggo has a beautifully sculpted face, but his characterization wasn't very deep - he was just the sexy free-lovin' hunk. Certainly understandable how Pearl could swoon for him, though, since it had been made so obvious that her marital sex-life had gotten dull and unfulfilling. Anna Paquin is a terrific actress, and she magnificently conveyed the confusion of making the feminine transition. Her scenes with Diane Lane were utterly believable, and one of the best combinations I've seen portraying mother and daughter. Like all the other reviewers, I too am amazed at the depth of talent that Diane Lane possesses. She invested a multitude of layers in her characterization of Pearl, and could show us the thoughts and emotions that lay behind her eyes. It's a shame that she doesn't get the parts that other mediocre actresses get.

Summary: A Married Woman's Fantasy
Review: Here we are in 2002 and I have only seen A Walk On The Moon for the very first time. What brought me to see this film was I recently became a new fan of Viggo Mortensen, when I saw The Lord Of The Rings. A Walk On The Moon is a wonderful, sad movie. You want Diane Lane's charater, Pearl to throw caution to the wind and run away with this beautiful man that sets your heart on fire. Yet when you see the strong family ties you know she will ultimately do the right thing. Viggo Mortensen is a very talanted actor who has chemistry with anyone he plays opposite. I could not take my eyes off of his beauty, yet, his acting is so real. This movie is a gem and a keeper!

Summary: A Walk I would like to take
Review: I happened upon this movie without ever have hearing anything about it. I too think that Diane Lane is one of the best of hollywood actors. Julia Roberts cannot hold a candle to her. This movie made me wish for a simpler world, where children were children and not made to grow up too fast. I was born in1972 so I didn't get to experience the sixties first hand, but I always listened to the music and have wished that I could have been around for the free love. This movie also made me see how my mother must feel. She too got married at a very young age. It's also nice to see a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship be so honest. Hats off to diane and to the rest of this fine cast.

Summary: UNFAITHFUL star DIANE LANE is exceptional in this great film
Review: DIANE LANE (Unfaithful, The Perfect Storm) delivers another great performance in A WALK ON THE MOON. The film centres on her inner battle to let go of the youth that she never had. A subtle, effective, haunting and ultimately entertaining movie that you'll want to watch again. Brilliant performances by DIANE LANE (Unfaithful, Perfect Storm), VIGGO MORTENSON (Lord Of The Rings), and ANNA PAQUIN (X-Men)! 5 stars.
