Some Kind of Beautiful (2015)

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This comedy is quite fun to watch with a middle aged professor and his two lovely love interests who are considerably younger. There are some astute observations about differences between the US and the UK. The contrast between English students and American students is funny. Liked the twist where the one facing deportation is a white guy and the Hispanics are legal. The commentary about excessive drinking in the British culture is right on. The villa is quite idyllic. Pierce Brosnan is well preserved so things don't look icky. He didn't let himself go like some other actors his age. Still looks better than Daniel Craig. Salma Hayek is lovely and should be on screen more. Jessica Alba is pretty and makes her annoying character appealing. Supporting cast Ben McKenzie is not quite right. Malcolm McDowell is a bit young to be Pierce's father.It's worth one watch.

A convoluted story appositely made to show on the screen some very good actors, the Ocean, Cambridge (UK), College classrooms, beautiful houses, beautiful cars, beautiful people…I know (we all know) how hard it could be to write an original comedy these days, so I won't complain. But this really was (in my opinion) one of the laziest script a man can conceive to justify the mixing of the above mentioned elements together.I'd like you to know in advance what is expecting you: nothing boring, nothing unpleasant, nothing unexpected, nothing you could possibly believe (or love).

Pierce go back to Ireland and dig ditches. You sir are a terrible (using the term very loosely here) actor. This film is blatantly pretentious and sophomoric in its delivery of "comedic" situations. The scene set ups for the punchlines are telegraphed so therefore the lines fall flat scene after scene. There are no surprise laughs in "Some Kind of Beautiful" only tried and not so true repeats of gags boringly reproduced in other Hollywood flops. The two "girls" playing opposite Pierce are totally forgettable and if its even remotely possible have done sever damage to there acting careers by being in this rabid dog of a movie. The boy playing Pierce's son was the only refreshingly good bit in this entire movie.This movie is definitely not a value for your time or your money. I rated it a 2, or 1 above the worst rating because of the boy's performance.

I read reviews and expected disaster. In fact it's quite different from what one may expect. It is not a typical romantic comedy, there is a lot of satire on the American way of living, while the whole film should not be taken too seriously. It is a fun, beautiful places, good acting. Just some life reality, although shown from a little bit funny perspective. Just enjoy it, because you can. I am a real fan of Brosnan and think he delivers as usual. Handsome despite his age, keeps just a proper distance to himself and the guy he plays. All leading actors are just fine and convincing. Watch it and you will enjoy it. May by this is not an extremely ambitious and complicated movie, but don't we need some fun from time to time? In addition, the backdrop landscape is just so nice to watch. So why not give it a go.
