Review of Passionada (2003) by Jennifer S — 04 Feb 2008
A more developed chick-flick than most (plot- and character-wise), but kind of mediocre in the emotional department... I don't know, maybe it's just because I'm a bitter 23-year-old-maid, but this film didn't really do it for me.
The chemistry between Jason Isaacs (as much as I love him) and Sofia Milos seemed kind of forced to me, and Emmy Rossum's character seemed rather superfluous. Don't get me wrong, the movie has its moments (most of them belonging to Jason Isaacs.
.. the image of him tweaking the stuffed squirrel's nose will warm my heart for many years to come XD), but the whole culture-clash / tragic loss story just seemed kind of old and contrived to me.
