2.0 out of 5 stars Amusing ... perhaps unintentionally so., April 17, 2006

By	Trish (Indiana, USA) - See all my reviews

I imagine that if any of the huge-name actors in this movie (such as Hugh Grant or Michael York) were ever on a talk show on which the host showed a clip of this movie, they would most likely be quite embarrassed. Other reviewers have noted the accuracy of the period costumes, and this may be so, but it is nonetheless a romance of the cheesiest calibre. It smacks of hackneyed melodrama, silly dialogue ("I should shoot you where you stand, but that is not my way."), and hokey lighting during the "romantic" bits. It was, I believe, a made-for-TV movie, though, so this is perhaps to be expected.

All the same, if you are a fan of the actors who are in it -- especially Hugh Grant, and would like to see him in one of his early works, or if you are like me and are (unintentionally?) amused by cheesy romances, then you will certainly enjoy this. =)

4.0 out of 5 stars A good film that I enjoyed watching!, July 18, 2005

By	Vivian Danique "Bailey Bryans" (MN, USA) - See all my reviews

It isn't the quality of Pirates of the Carribean or Lord of the Rings, but it has a nice oldtime feel to it that I love. Hugh Grant is young and vibrant in this film of his earlier years. The characters are all fairly well portayed. It has some good fight scenes as well, again, not as good as nowaday fight scenes, but still captivating. The costumes/makeup are wonderful to look at, as well as the variety of scenery. It has just the right amount of romance, action and drama. And good suspene! I give it 4 out of 5 stars simply because I think it could be better quality, but overall, its a good movie to watch over and over again for years to come.

1.0 out of 5 stars Highway Robbery, March 22, 2009

By	ESchool - See all my reviews

Even at the cost of .01 (and 3.99 for shipping), this DVD is Highway Robbery! Is it trying to be camp? I don't think so. Is the cinematography the worst effort I've ever seen in a movie? Yes, but I haven't seen "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Did they really increase the film speed with shots of horsemen to make it seem like they were moving faster? Yes! I think there's a reason why no one ever mentions this movie when they talk about Hugh Grant's career (let alone Michael York) and it's the absolutely terrible script. I will give it that the leading ladies look fine, costumes and sets are terrific, and that the rating could be "G", but that leaves it as a period piece for designers or very boring families only.
