A Walk on the Moon
The Legend:
Marketing:
2.0 Saw it on the shelf at the video store and rented it. |
Performances:
7.0 Respectable, but melodramatic in parts |
Production Design:
5.0 If your going to make a film set in 1969, you shouldn't have fashions and
technologies that weren't around until the 70's |
Score:
2.0 Though a trip to Woodstock was an integral part of the movie, the music wasn't
used nearly enough or very effectively. |
Overall Rating:
4.0 The ending killed this movie big time. |
Let's be frank. This is obviously a chick flick. No doubt about it.
There are some really great scenes in this movie, and while they reach out
and grab you, they are normally followed by a scene so poorly directed and
performed they loose there impact right away.
What starts out as a moral lesson on the impact of a one woman's sexual exploration,
and the effect it has on her marriage and children, quickly deteriorates into a sappy
melodrama, with a wholly cheesy ending. This could have really been a decent film,
and told the story of the price a woman might have to pay if she throws caution to
the wind and does the sort of shit she reads about in drivel-filled romance novels,
but they build toward that, and then throw it all away in a totally unrealistic
and typical hollywood ending.
Oh, and what the hell was that title about anyway???
I can only say, pass this one right on by.
Got an idea for a Movie Poster, or
just want to tell me how wrong I am...
