About Adam (2000)
Talk about a male fantasy!
Give me a break! In what world does this director/writer live in? If anyone, after seeing this dribble, thinks it's a charming romantic comedy, then try a little role reversal and see if you still think it is. A woman, no matter how lovely her eyes may be, who sleeps with her fiancé's two brothers (one just half an hour before her wedding) would be deemed a whore and a slut. Not to mention that he's a pathological liar, to boot! How did this film get made?
Maybe the backers thought an Irish film that wasn't about the Catholic Church or about the Catholic Protestant "troubles", would be refreshing, but please, this movie was hogwash from beginning to end.
Kate Hudson, Stuart Townsend, Frances O'Connor and Charlotte Bradley made a valiant effort to make this screenplay work, but it was DOA..
Do yourself a favor, steer clear of this one. It' not worth anyone's time. I just hope the actors got paid well.
In the Cut (2003)
A film for those who are tired of seeing Meg Ryan be perky.
From the other comments made about this film, it seems that people who did not like "In the Cut" were more upset with the fact that Meg Ryan dared to be in a film where she didn't have to be perky, than because she wasn't great. This is an amazing film about relationships and how each person makes their mark (scars?) on us, for good or bad. The acting is wonderful, the images haunting. The sex scenes realistic and disturbing.
