Review of Romance & Cigarettes (2005) by Shemp H — 11 Dec 2008

This was a great movie (but dont know how it will play on a second viewing?).

So whats it all about Shempy??

Tony Soprano cheats on Susan Sarandon with Kate Winslet? thats pretty much it.

However its a bit of a musical with some underwater Winslet singing (looking stunning) and Christopher Walken and Sarandon dancing as if they were in the rain.

What puzzled me was Soprano and Sarandon had 3 daughters in this movie. One was Mandy Moore, fair enough (the other two were almost the same age as Soprano himself, especially Mary-Louise Parker who was 41 at the time. Not to be swayed by my bungee cord of disbelief being suspended as I didnt mind for my love of Mary-Louise Parker? and her rocking the many hair styles in this movie).

This was written and directed by the sweet lovely John Turturro and from this witty and weird script I?d love to see anything else he?s wrote, and hope he will do more in the future.
