This is a movie that proves Meg Ryan and Antonio Banderas can pull off a stunt like that without the wrap of a good storyline. These characters Tommy and Marty had been breathed on life without the slightest hint of effort from both actors. Although romantic chemistry is far fetched. Tommy could have played Marty's brother instead of lover. There's no spark anywhere. Just charming eyes and playful intimacy.
FBI work was lousy. Can you believe an agent ( Colin Hanks) fishing around a potential catch but fails to inform others in the conversation (girlfriend and mother) that he, the smart guy from FBI is currently tasked to spy on his mother's new date! Emily spilled out FBI work out in the air as if the job is as casual as selling insurance. And suspect caught who Henry was before the FBI man began the background check. That part was terribly NOT FUNNY. Was that supposed to be a joke? Marty got herself rich. Yet there was no scene in the film depicting what sort of job she does. There's a huge lack of affirmation on this part considering that she managed to transform herself so dramatically like that. |
