Perfect cast and a good story
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
One of the best movies by Woody Allen even if he himself did neither write it nor directed it nor starred in it, or, for that matter, has no direct role in making the movie whatsoever (as far as I know).I love almost all movies by Woody Allen and I love this imitation simply because it is not only an excellent imitation but also an excellent movie on its own.I wonder if there was a secret collaboration between Allen and David Frankel. I wouldn't be surprised if this were the case and what we are facing is an insider joke.Maybe in 1995 Allen was not yet ready to move his movies away from New York, and this is the product,
and well-directed. Anyone who has ever lived in or visited South Florida will enjoy this film. Sarah Jessica Parker is very good, and I am not really an ardent fan of "Sex and the City".Mia Farrow and Paul Mazursky portray an older well-to-do Miami couple: ..."what shall I decorate the den in, sea foam or teal"..., Mia wonders. While lines like that could seem vacuous, they are humorous when presented in an intelligent way.Infidelity, boredom, job frustration. SJP has some excellent lines, like when she tells her grandmother ..."your generation had something to fight against Nazis...what does my generation have?"... . Also when she is demoted at her job, her boss tells her not to buy into the "glass-ceiling theory"; she says, as a woman I don't have to buy it I get it for free everyday. Anyone who has ever worked in the superficial world of advertising will get a few laughs.Antonio Banderas is also in a small part, as Farrow's paramour.This film deserves a watch, especially because there are so few intelligent romantic comedies. Definitely worth it.
Dull look at several couples who are no longer able to relate to each other so they either break off the relationship or start sleeping around. This was painful to sit through for me but it did point out that the boy/girl stuff is more flash than bang.
I have seen this film two times and I like it sooo much!!! Sara Jessica Parker is such a good actress and the other actors do a great job too. It is not a usuall Hollywood-Love-Story and it is more funny too.I can recommend this film to everybody, who likes S. J. Parker, Woody Allen-Films and sitcoms. If you don 't like any of this, you will also like this film.
