Review of Two Family House (2000) by Marina G — 20 Jan 2010

I read a review of this film when it was released (to a few theaters) that conveyed the beauty of the portrayals, the script, and the film itself so well that I never forgot that review. When I finally saw this film, I knew why the critic had fallen in love.

Michael Rispoli gives the finest romantic male lead performance since Cary Grant in "Affair to Remember". It's not overtly sentimental, it's not predictable at all, and it's not even fantastical.

It is grounded in reality, well-written & directed, and contains fine performances. Underrated, overlooked, and almost forgotten unless you have a crush on Michael Rispoli like me and "Lose her" become the most lovely line of all time.
