Jack & Sarah Reviews

I don’t know if you have noticed it but I tend to watch some of the most obscure flicks and, sometimes, I even wonder how I ended up watching some of those in the first place. This movie is a perfect example. Indeed, what the hell was this? Why did I watch this movie?!? I think the only reason was probably because Judi Dench and Ian McKellen were involved but even though both are quite awesome, I don’t think it was a good reason to watch the damned thing. Anyway, I thought that the premise was not really inspiring and I thought that Richard E. Grant didn't have enough charisma to portray a convincing lead. Apparently, he was amazing in ‘Withnail & I’ so I should give him a second chance and watch this huge British classic instead. Concerning Samantha Mathis, she took the role because it was shot in England and, this way, she would avoid the press following the death of her boyfriend at the time, the late River Phoenix. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, it was just a rather predictable and forgettable romantic feature. To conclude, even though I have seen worse, I really had a hard time to care for this flick and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
