(1996) The Mirror Has Two Faces.
ROMANTIC COMEDY DRAMA.
It's hard for me to watch any film that stars Barbara Streisand since she's not the most attractive person to look at but this film has it's moments which is basically another film about 'the ugly duckling'. Jeff Bridges as Math Professor Gregory Larkin, who's tired of many one-night stands and is yearning for a long time relationship, so he sets himself up with an intellectual not-so-attractive female English professor Rose Morgon (Streisand) for the intentions of treating it like a business since he believes it would last longer for eg. sleeping on separate beds and so forth. It's almost like another one of those arrange marriage situations where one isn't attracted to the other but grow to love one another.
You know while watching his film I've seen another film like this before called "Arthur" as well as other TV sitcoms such as "Taxi" except that it's directed by Streisand herself and it's well made without many cringing moments as well as dialogue except that it's a bit long and that some scenes needed to be shortened. But it's great to see other film actors such as Pierce Brosnan, Mimi Rogers, George Segal and Lauren Becall.
2.5 out of 4.
