Review of She's So Lovely (1997) by Ivette G — 12 Oct 2010
Intriguing romance drama that chronologs the lives of 3 people in love or something like it. Sean Penn is young and good in the first half of the film as a mumbling, lost soul.
Robin Penn (relation?) is one very confused and upset young woman who sticks with Sean Penn until his drinking makes him do naughty things.
John Travolta, for me, steals this movie away in the last half. As the father of 2 of his 3 young daughters and now married to Robin Penn (after 10 years have passed) we now have the makings of a SHOWDOWN.
Sean Penn gets released from being institutionalized and now Robin Penn must deal with her old boyfriend, but not before John Travolta her husband of 10 years has a say in the matter.
Quite simply very good and while a rough start to watch in the first 15 minutes for me, it kept getting better and better. A lot for your old uncle Rick to say too.
I challenge you to find She's So Lovely, written by veteran director/actor John Cassevettes (Rosemary's Baby) of the 70s and directed by his son Nick Cassevettes.
