4.0 out of 5 stars Love conquers all, July 13, 2008

By	Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The five volumes in FOX HOME VIDEO's PERFECT DATE MOVIES all have a "Love & ____" theme. The four titles in each set are on individual discs and presented in widescreen format. Quality of the transfers is excellent. Provided extras are those typical of full-priced, single release DVDs: commentary tracks, theatrical trailers, "making of" featurettes, deleted and extended scenes, etc.

This final entry in the series contains four movies released in the 1990s. The general theme is unlikely couples.


SYNOPSES for PDM #5 (Love & Devotion)--

HOPE FLOATS-- Birdee moves back to her small Texas hometown after the her husband's affair with Birdee's best friend is made public on a national TV talk show. The townspeople of Smithville aren't too understanding of Birdee's plight.

THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION-- George and Nina share an apartment and similar interests. They'd be the ideal couple if George wasn't gay. Nina's pushy boyfriend gets her pregnant and wants Nina to marry him, but she'd rather stay single. Now George has to decide if he can handle being a surrogate dad for his unmarried friend's baby.

PRELUDE TO A KISS-- Adapted from the 1990 Tony Award-winning play. Somewhat supernatural story of a bride that switches bodies with a stranger, an old man who crashes her wedding, when this fellow kisses her at the wedding reception. Good ensemble cast.

A WALK IN THE CLOUDS-- A returning WWII vet meets a girl on a bus. She tells him of her fear that her vineyard-owning father will disown her when he learns that she's pregnant and unmarried, so the soldier volunteers to temporarily masquerade as her husband. Anthony Quinn and California's wine country steal the show in this fine romantic film.


THE ROMANTIC FAVORITES COLLECTION might be more accurately described as "The Hugh Grant 4 Movie Pack."
