Review of Alex & Emma (2003) by Victor L — 28 Jan 2008

:rotten: Stories about writers who need muses to inspire them to create a great book usually are interesting, but I don't really think [b][i]Alex and Emma [/i][/b]is. The movie is exaggerated and very superficial like the last pictures Reiner has directed and written, he's stuck and he shouldn't make another picture until he develops something really good, I know he can. This film is better than [b]A Story of Us [/b][i]and [/i][b]When Harry Met Sally, [/b]but it is pretty bad... A romantic comedy that should be romantic and it isn't; should be funny and guess what?... IT ISN'T.

All the jokes Reiner does about sex or erotic content are painful. Hudson's performance as Ylva is terrible, she deserved a Razzie nod for that role.
