hyped garbage

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Vanessa,played by Janine Turner was lacking in emotion, a bit too controlled for the circumstances she found herself in, an Paudge Brennan who played, Bill Fitzgerald, was annoying. His mannerism and voice was unrealistic. Yes I can understand someone being cocky and confident but he was annoying and was just rattling off his lines. And Vennessa's, husband to be, threw just one Luke warm tantrum when she broke, what should have be shattering news. I know they were governed by Barbara Taylor Bradfords script but(apart from a few kissing scenes) the whole thing lacked real passion and human emotion just too wooden and controlled. What I did love was the locations, especially Venice one of my favorite places and the scenes, background music, and camera work was good.. And I loved the little girl who played Bill daughter, Sarah Bolger. She was impressive for her age, only 8 when the movie was made (She starred in the movie,"In America" 3 years later, another great performance). And well, Finnula Flanagan who played Bills mother, was good, without being great. All in all a watch-able movie, but for me it was more for the locations and to a lesser extent the story, than the acting.

Saw it on Netflix streaming video.Let me start by saying I am a big fan of Janine Turner. A loved her as Maggie, the pilot, in the old and great TV series "Northern Exposure." She is pretty and sweet.In this movie she plays Vanessa Shaw, working in the family business as a buyer, often she goes to far away places to find things to bring back for sale in their business. On this trip she goes to Venice.And this is where the whole thing became de-railed for me. She is enjoying a water taxi ride when a man comes up to her, Paudge Behan as the very obnoxious Bill Fitzgerald, reporter. He comes on to her strongly, and she makes feeble deflections of his advances and very quickly they end up in bed, in her hotel room. But Vanessa is engaged to be married! Her beau also works in the family business. He is by all indications a very nice and thoughtful man. While she may not be head-over-heels in love with him, she has decided to marry him. So the whole scenario of falling for this horny cad in a matter of hours and ending up in bed with him was just so inane that the rest of the movie didn't matter to me. Maybe it is the kind of fantasy that some women like to see, but not for me.The whole story is of course about breaking free of the cords that bind you, to pursue what you really want to do. In Vanessa's case it was for fulfillment as an artist, and to find a man she really was in love with. But the way the story gets there is distasteful to me.Maggie, I would have never thought!

I liked "Northern Exposure," but wasn't as enthralled with it as many of my acquaintances. I found a lot of its characters tiresome, the exceptions being Barry Corbin, and especially Janine Turner.I had not seen her that I recall since the series went off-air, until happening upon this flick. This may not be "War and Peace," "Dr. Zhivago," or "Casablanca," but I found it enjoyable, especially due to Ms. Turner, and also Brendan Behan's son, a credible, engaging actor, whom I'd never seen prior.Regarding some of the other comments I've seen here, the Venice scenes were outstanding, although it did seem the "Balkans" part was filmed a bit "on the cheap."However, a worthwhile, entertaining presentation.

The movie is just splendid! it has all you need for a romantic movie, the only thing that i "didn't like" was that the subject was "used" already or you know what will happened when you seen him that he goes in that dangerous mission. Any way its super romantic!both actors are beautiful. The title is perfect.I really want to see a second part of this movie something where we can see they're family , they're second love plus the love of Bill Fitzgerald's daughter or something , the place where the film was made is wonderful as well.The location is so romantic ... this film it has all what it needs to be a perfect romantic movie
