Mom said we’d LOVE this movie.
Jess did. I tried to take a nap during it.
I caught MOST of the movie even with trying to take a nap last evening. I wasn’t impressed with much except with the “good ending”.
I was disappointed, however, with the idea that “John Clark” (Richard Gere) merely brought a rose and dressed in a tuxedo to “woo” his wife back into love with him.
In an apparently “dysfunctional” family situation where communcation was NOT a priority, Mr. Clark “fixed” all their problems with a rose and a tux.
That, to me, was hardly typical.
“Almost” infidelity is a HUGE thing these days with husbands and wives “wondering” what it would be like to be with someone else, and in my opinion this movie praised such an idea.
Those facts and the idea of an entire movie being made about ballroom dancing labeled this movie as a “dud” in Stevan’s book.
