Review: Serious Moonlight

I was even more disappointed with this movie than I thought I’d be. On the plus side, it has awesome actors, good outlook for a director, and a great writer, but it just was terrible. Not funny, too predictable, and completely unbelievable.

Meg Ryan and Timothy Hutton (reunited after all these years since French Kiss!) are married in this movie. Meg Ryan discovers that Tim Hutton is cheating on her with a much younger woman (Kristen Bell), and she decides to duct tape him to chairs and toilets until he falls back in love with her and dumps his girlfriend.

Ridiculous premise. Ridiculous movie. The only thing that drew me to it was the actors. Cheryl Hines is directing, and Adrienne Shelly (RIP, of Waitress renown) wrote the screenplay. Seemingly a decent combination, but the story itself is too incredible to buy into. It starts out ok, but it gets stupider and crazier as it goes on.

Tim Hutton is playing the same dufus as he was in French Kiss. Meg Ryan is playing a neurotic sap like always, but it’s taken too far without any redeeming qualities. Kristen Bell is a petulant child. And Justin Long as the villain is completely unbelievable because he’s not a tough guy!

There’s supposed to be a twist at the end, I think, but it’s not clear enough what it is, and if it is what I thought, then it completely ruins the happy ending and the movie as a whole, if the movie hadn’t ruined itself already.

1-starOnly because I like Adrienne Shelly and the actors, despite their poor showing here.

It affects chemicals in the body that are involved in the cause of some types of pain. There are many medicines which give you things you need to be ready on your own terms. What doctors talk about viagra or cialis? It contains Sildenafil. Also known as erectile dysfunction is defined as the impossibility to attain an erection suitable for intercourse. Having erectile malfunction can no doubt complicate dating. Many men take more medicines later in life and some have sexual side effects that will lead to impotency. Some of medications fuel wish. Certain far-famed medicaments can mean screwing with your orgasm. What is the most significant facts you perhaps know know about this?

About the Blog

This is a place to share my love and excessive fandom of film, actors, and television. I gush a lot, and I complain a lot, usually not simultaneously.

I share my take on the latest movies I’ve seen (some new, some new to me, and some classics that are worth a rewatch), and a little promotion here and there for shows or films that I feel deserve a little more attention than they’re getting.

So, kick back, settle in, switch on, tune in, or whatever you have to do and join in on the love for all things that move on-screen.
