4.0 out of 5 stars Not thrilled with this DVD, January 15, 2007

I was so excited when I saw that this film was available on DVD. As a huge fan of Julie Andrews, this is one of only a few of her films that I hadn't seen.

I bought it immediately, but was disappointed. The film isn't great, but it's not bad. I'm glad I own it because I love Julie, but it's not one of my favorites.

It's the DVD presentation that I'm most unhappy about. First of all, throughout a great deal of the film, the sound and picture are not in synch. There also aren't any scene divisions on the disc. It's just one big scene, and you have to fast forward to get to a certain place.

If you're a fan of Julie Andrews, you'll want this in your collection, but otherwise don't bother. Hopefully a better quality edition will be released someday.

4.0 out of 5 stars A light hearted comedy, January 11, 2008

This review is from: A Fine Romance (DVD)

Ms Pam Piquet (Julie Andrews) and Cesareo Grimaldi (Marcello Mastroianni) have one thing in common; their spouses, Doctor Piquet (Jean-Michel Cannone) and Marguerite (Catherine Jarret) have an affair with each other, and both Pamela and Cesareo are desperate to have their spouses back. This movie, also released under the name Cin Cin, is a hilarious light-hearted comedy involving two middle aged spouses caught of in a family and personal mess fall in love with each other. But it is not love at first sight; Cesareo is a middle-aged Italian, romantic at heart with strong addiction to alcohol. Pam is a good hearted British woman who doesn't drink or romance another man except her husband. The circumstances gradually change and force them to be with each other. There are several hilarious situations; when the couple moves from motel to motel looking for a room with a good view for their first tryst; or when Cesareo start calling for his wife in front of a residential building annoying the residents; or when he is caught making out with a nurse in a rehab clinic by Pamela. In the middle of all this is the son of Pamela who is trying get Cesareo marry his mother so that she moves out of the apartment building, and he can sell the entire building allowing him with a hefty commission in the real estate deal. The movie was shot on locations in Paris and you will enjoy this light hearted comedy.

This review is from: A Fine Romance (DVD)

Take two mature actors, an aging story line that's been done a thousand times and half heartedly do it yet again and wela! You have "A Fine Romance" and one hell of a bad movie. The best thing about the movie is the Paris backdrop...but even that can't save this cow.Don't even rent this campy, amateurish attempt a cinema.
