Music from Another Room (1998) Reviews

I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie but since I have a weak spot for Jude Law, I thought I might as well check it out. Apparently,  it is his least favorite of his movies and, to be honest, even though it wasn’t really awful, I can’t say I really liked it either. To beginning with, it starts with a really awkward scene during which the lead character is just 5 years old and helps a woman to deliver her baby. Seriously, in the romantic-comedy genre, they come up with some weird meet-cute scenes to get a couple to get acquainted but that was really something else. I mean, they didn't actually make a big fuss out of it eventually, but, on a psychological level, it could mess you up to have your hands in a vagina to play around with a baby at such a young age. But, like I said before,  it is just a meet-cute and they didn't spend much time on this matter after all. Anyway,  even though both Jude Law and Gretchen Mol were really cute and had some decent chemistry together,  their story was rather underwhelming. On top of that,  Mol had also 2 sisters and 1 brother, all with their own half-baked sub-plots, and it was a little too much for a movie running just above 90 minutes.  To conclude, it was pretty weak and I don't think it is really worth a look.
