Good question!
For me it was good enough to stand the shaky camera. I liked the interaction of the two main characters. But nothing much happen, it's mostly seeing the development of their relationship with a somewhat open end.
It was really annoying. I enjoyed the movie so I went on to the end, but I have given up other movies that weren't so interesting because of the shaky cam, sometimes they shake so much it makes me sick. I don't see the point unless as you mentioned it's an action scene.
When Annie gets there, it was already closed for the day, so there was no lines anymore. I myself have been allowed for free and without lines in museums in NYC just because they were about to close and I asked just to take a look as I was a tourist and not sure I'd be able to return another day. As for Jonah, we just see him leaving the cab, we don't know if he faced a line and we don't know what his father said to security when he got there , but probably that his 8 year-old son might be unaccompanied up there and they may have let him cut the line. I went there in 2000 and it was not that complicated to go up the top. Since 9/11 security and lines take much more time. No way they would let Annie in the elevator after closing times these days.
And the real Anthony doesn't seem to have any happiness ahead too.
I really think that some recurring jokes like Elizabeth breaking some nice china were fun. The one thing that annoys me most is Rose. In the first season I thought her character was a little funny, but from the second season on with the new actress I thought it was too exaggerated: the character, the acting, her stories, clothes. It was all too much! I'd rather see more of the other family members. I think it would be ok if she had a new boyfriend drama once or twice in each series, but in every episode it's just way too much. I move forward on her scenes.
Two songs by the "Jackson 5", not MJ alone, not even written by him, only performed by him as a young child. What is really so sick is actually seeing perversion everywhere.
Hi TxMike. I'm four years late but I just discovered this movie recently and I think you nailed the ending. Not the happy cheerful ending people were expecting but the most sensible one. The agreement was the key to her decision not to go to Paris, it was the condition she agreed with her father and fiancé in order to study in Europe and the fact that she noticed how much she and Hank were falling for each other made it really impossible for her to go. In the beginning she agreed out of curiosity and for the thrill of it, but as things got serious she had to make a decision. And I think that one of her last messages in which she said she thought she would fall in love with Prague but it actually didn't happen because she felt different there, like she didn't belong was a sign that she wouldn't be ok leaving her family and culture behind. Also, Hank had some unsolved issues with his parents and going to Paris to meet her was some sort of escape and could give him a false idea of a new life with her.
I love this movie but there are many plot holes and this is one of them. And even if there was no direct flight from Krakozhian (which ended up proving that there were), it's quite odd that only one person from that country would arrive in the USA around those days. And with more Krakozhians in transit, I'm sure that Immigration would have a guideline on what to do with these people. They wouldn' simply let them wondering around a terminal. Probably they would send them to a country that had acknowledged the new government in Krakozhia.
Don't forget it was the 90s. Before internet and social media, we used to talk a lot more and elaborate a lot while speaking. Conversations since then have changed very much. I'm a little older than the characters and I do rememebr having conversations like that with some friends. And they both were somewhat intelectuals, remember they were reading books on the train, not just listening to their walkman, and most importantly: they were trying to impress each other.
Exactly! It's so difficult to find the topics actually related to the movie. It seems that there are 2 or 3 people who use this board to "publish" their regular columns as if it was their blog or something like that! I had to "ignore" them in order to filter the posts actual related to the movie itself.
One of my favorite albuns too! Actually this soundtrack is way too good for this movie! :-)
Great observations! Also, the fact that Vick covered for her son's scheme to get money from the neighbors showed that she was overprotecting him.
I understand what you mean! Though when I first watched the movie I had not read the book and thought the movie was OK, but I was full of questions and bought the book. Now, after reading the book, I watched it again and I think the movie seems kind of rushed. It could have some more minutes and characters could be better developed as well as their feelings and emotions.
Great review! I really enjoy the show. It is so touching specially if you've lost a loved one. It may be dramatic, dark and deal with sad themes, but I never feel upset after watching it. Great writing, something rare these days, and wonderful performances.
I thought it was a gag to show how distant Peter was from his family at that moment. Also someone pointed out that it was wrong to give a used sofa bought from a estate as an engagement gift, but as it was the family business, I'd believe it was kind of normal for them.
Anyway, I don't think that choosing sofas is one of their strengths: look at the sofa in their living room in which Lucy slept. Oh my! It seemed so uncomfortable. I wouldn't be able to move my neck for weeks if I slept on it.
Indeed! very distracting and made it difficult to believe that she would fall for him. He wasn't even charming as Cary Grant in Charade was. Cooper really looked old and not handsome at all and his character was not a much likable person either.
I'm actually Bob Sacamano and Kramer is a great friend! ;-)
Well I do think it could be a logical reason. I know many people who can't drive or won't drive when nervous or in bad weather conditions... And I really don't think this movie is the best example of a logical script as the writer didn't bother explaining many details. The emphasis was simply in making it difficult for her to get home, also including the John Candy character, as well as for the family to get in touch with Kevin (the telephone line not working is another issue full of debates) is never really explained. The lines were down, but he ordered pizza. From a pay phone? Whatever! And sometimes, when people are nervous and worried like kate was, they don't think in a logical way. There are many things not well explained. Anyway I love this movie!
