Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
SnoopyStyle Peter Brackett (Nick Nolte) is an over-confident womanizing veteran reporter on the Chicago Chronicle with a new book out. He is told to cover a train crash and is scooped by the young cub reporter Sabrina Peterson (Julia Roberts) from the rival Chicago Globe. Their professional rivalry is put on hold when a conspiracy puts them in danger and the bad guys start shooting. Their combative relationship leads them to fall in love.The chemistry is bad and that's before I read about how Nolte and Roberts didn't get along. I actually like Julia saying that he has no chance. This would be good as a non-rom-com. The age difference is a big part of it. There is a definite ick factor involved. Second, I don't get the comedy part of rom-com. The movie has little kids getting on the train and then the train crashes. Any comedy is dead right off the bat with the possible dead kids. This could be a thrilling investigation but the movie keeps jamming the rom-com at the audience. The constant light comedic tone is horribly distracting. The two hour running time is also 30 minutes too long.
Gloryous I loved this movie. It reminded me of an old Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake in a detective novel. It just clicked so well as I watched it. Two unlikely people not interested in either one, meeting up, and sparks fly, but so does the love interest after awhile. It was exciting, it had all the earmarks of a 1940's film. I could see even Cary Grant and Rosalind Russel in the parts. It was that good! Something that gives you the flavor of the movies of the past, and also some of the new blended into a film that just makes you want to put your feet up get the popcorn and settle in and really be entertained. Don't miss this movie. Julia Roberts who is always at her best, makes comedy look so easy, and Nick Nolte plays the cad to a "T". Great Flick. I can watch it over and over again and not get tired of it. Well done!
whpratt1 Enjoyed viewing the youthful faces of Julia Roberts,(Sabrina Peterson),"Closer",'04 and Nick Nolte,(Peter Brackett),"Clean",'04. I thought that Nick Nolte was too old an actor to play against Julia Roberts, but naturally, that is my opinion. The story starts out with a mysterious man carrying a business case containing a gun and various other items and all of a sudden there is bad train accident which disrupts the lives of Peter Brackett and Sabrina Peterson; who happen to be newspaper reporters for two different Chicago Newspapers. Peter Bracket is also an author of a new book that was recently published and becomes distracted with Sabrina Peterson in more ways than just one. They are both rivals for a big news story and are very much at odds with each other through out the entire picture. Funny and entertaining film from 1994.
Junyamince Dramatic comedy about two rivaling newspaper people, i should say, racing, and battling, each other for the story of their lives. I've seen this kind of thing a million times in the screwball comedies of the 30's and 40's and chalk this one up to be nothing more than a revisionist work of one or more of those. However, it is cute and fun to go through a rather entangled--though not too much--story with Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts who have excellent chemistry and seem perfect for their roles. But again, its nothing you haven't seen before, and the characters themselves seem reworked blueprints from old stories like "His Girl Friday" which Roberts may or may not have referenced even, telling Nolte, in the movies defense, she wasn't "his girl friday." Good but not great,see it if you have time. C-
