Sadly Over-hyped
Fantastic!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
I saw it late at night on TV and was intrigued enough to keep watching. I don't understand all these negative comments. Sure, it has its faults but Love Walked In was interesting and entertaining to watch, for me at least. The story is a little incredible sometimes, but I wasn't bothered. And it certainly wasn't predictable. All those Hollywood blockbusters, they are predictable, but this one had its shifts and turns which keep you wondering till the end.Love Walked In consists of an interesting story with realistic characters. No black and white characters, but people who make mistakes sometimes. Along with the good acting of Denis Leary and good-old Terence Stamp it makes up of one fairly good movie. At least, it was a lot better than the over sentimental Indecent Proposal.
What a waste of time. The characters weren't believable. Stamp behaved like a zombie. I didn't see him smile during the entire movie. He was gaga over the female lead, who I thought was nothing in particular, and her singing left me cold. And the annoying parallel story - wow! Don't watch it. I give it a 1, and I'm being generous.
The screenplay looks like "indecent proposal";Leary 's wife resembles Isabella Rossellini (during the whole movie,I thought it was her);ditto for Stamp's wife who resembles Angelica Huston. It's really a cock and bull story,which fills its quota of violence and sex.In order to give the film a "serious" feel,or a Lynchesque touch,Leary writes a novel the events of which are integrated into the plot even if there's no connection at all with it.Too bad for Terence Stamp who deserves better than this cardboard character.Since "Priscilla Queen of the desert" he has not got one single interesting part.He who was young when Wyler,Pasolini,Fellini,Schlesinger and Loach were working wonders did not deserve to get old with "love walked in".
This movie is very similar to " Indecent Proposal " ( Robert Redford and Demi Moore ), but a mediocre one.Very boring and uncredible. ( the beautiful Aitiana Sánchez- Guijon with the old man ? )
