Diagonaldi Very well executed
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
spacenk Having read the book by Sisman, it's such a shame that they wasted such talented actors.The script and some of the overly crazy idea camera shots are completely wrong and do not do the novel justice.Anna Friel's funny looking California tan (odd with the slightly red brown hair)looks about as authentic as the the scriptwriter..was it their first job? One has to wonder.It is overly sentimental in parts, some additions make the movie much more interesting in detail such as additional animals.The novel gives little nuances of romance that the reader falls for and the same small hints do not completely convert to screen well..the sofa-bed conversation in Picture Perfect was much better conceived and carried out.Anna Friel is also in need of a very American wonder bra in parts- they could have incorporated an appropriate/not-so-subtle advert into the movie.The essentials are nevertheless there but if you love the book I advise caution.. I didn't mind it, would I watch it again? Maybe, if I was incredibly bored and stuck without anything to do after 36 hours - yeah, then I would. Obviously after watching other good-better movies I own I might give it a go but to be honest I'm more tempted to watch Ghostbusters or My Girl...Watch and decide for yourself!
Mr_Sensitive Perfects Strangers is no more than a typical, predictable, and nonsense romantic movie that I have seen million of times. Staring Rob and Anna Friel as an advertisers that get to swap job between New York and London. There they consult each other through the various phone conversation before they fall in love along the way.The main reason to watch this movie got to be the casts, they are all too good for this movie. The main reason I watch because it got Anna Frail and Rob, this movie doesn't do them justice. The directing is too blame, it was not not good at all and the cinematography make this movie look like as if it has been shot in the '80s. And the story was not very consistence, it s just too sense less and going no where. And some of the character are just too shallow. And the music doesn't go along with the movie at all.Overall, despite a low expectation – the movie is even lower than that. But it is all that bad, half way into the movie it started to get a little better and it become more watchable. But in the end you won't miss a single thing if you haven't seen it and if you seen it you will forget about it in next hours.Reason To Watch: Anna Frail Reason Not To: Seem Like A Waste Of Time.Rating: 3.5/10 (Grade: F).Please Rate After Read (Y/N) Thanks
laurastar100 I was attracted to this comedy for 3 reasons 1) It was from Working title and the producers of Bridget Jones diary 2) the Anglo American love story/comedy 3) the very sexy rob Lowe! The story is funny and very true to life when it explores the differences each see when they live "abroad". Llyod (rob Lowe) and Suzie (anna frail) swap houses and jobs she leaves her fab and kooky London house with all its tradition and bad plumbing and and he leaves his ultra modern white wash new york apartments and his snobby lifestyle and fiancé behind and the two of them have trouble adjusting to each others lifestyles but eventually find that special relationship between the two countries give them common ground. Its very predictable as all ROM Com's are but both the actors are very funny and the supporting cast wonderful. Both London and New York look fab in the city shops and the differences in the two countries are exposed and mocked without any offense to either British OR Americans!! Lots to laugh at and lots-of fun and romance this is the perfect Sunday evening bottle of wine with the girls kinda movie!!!
vchimpanzee Lloyd and Susie both work for the same advertising agency, but he is in New York and she is in London. The company decides they need to trade places. Both have problems when they get to their destination, and their contacts with each other give no indication they would ever like each other. This isn't a case of two characters hating each other in such a way you know they will fall in love. I mean they really hate each other. But someone doesn't want this experiment to succeed, and once the discovery is made that they didn't plot against each other, the warmth between the characters develops.There was some frank sex talk which I felt was unnecessary. This came primarily from a relationship between Lloyd and a London friend of Susie.I don't like Rob Lowe to begin with, so it took me a while to warm up to this movie. But the investigation of what went wrong finally makes the movie interesting and enjoyable.
