enjoyable movie, best part is Bonnie Hunt


I think the movie is very enjoyable, but what I love most about the movie is Bonnie Hunt. I was more interested in her story than the Marisa Tomei-Robert Downey, Jr. romance. The resolution of her story wasn't very satisfying, but all of Bonnie's scenes in the rest of the movie are great. And she looks beautiful in the this movie.

Bonnie Hunt was wonderful in this movie. I kept thinking throughout that if this movie came out in the 1950's, her part would be played by Thelma Ritter. Hunt could be the new Thelma Ritter, one of the best wisecracking sidekicks in the movies.

I really enjoyed Bonnie Hunt too! What is she doing lately?

she was great in this film, she cracked me up! I love the line at Faith and Dwayne's engagement party where she goes "we have to go" and Larry asks why, she says "I have a headache", Larry says "not another headache" and Bonnie says "not that kind of headache, its a I have too many pins holding my hair up headache" hehe

Listen to your friend Billy Zane....he's a cool dude.

It's 2014 now, Bonnie had a great morning talk show that didn't last, and I haven't seen her in anything in awhile.

I miss Bonnie.

Generosity, that was my first mistake

A very natural performance by Bonnie Hunt. Hers was definitely the best character in the film.

The scene toward the beginning while watching the old movie, Marisa looks all dreamy and almost fantasizing....while Bonnie manages to convey the death of her marriage, the death of PASSION, maybe even of LOVE...without uttering a single word.

I felt for her right there alone. Bonnie nailed it!

If only you saw this only you once
then B Hunt is the one you remember

because M Tomei is hot
and F Stevens has some lines
and they show scenes from Real Italy
with Real Italians
knowing the language
and the faith
and the way of life

But that's about it
as far as the movie goes
because B Hunt
takes center stage
cranking out the wisecracks
and showing her whiny costars
what it means to hold down the fort
when the script goes all over the place
It even has scenes in Pittsburgh

Granted
this one comes out
long years
after movies were actually good

If only you could have B Hunt
in decent movies
back when they were good
then they'd really be classic

Sure they had great talent
back in glorious black and white days
when life was much better
for everybody back then
and the movies just go to show that

But they should have given B Hunt
some other movies
because she would have only improved them
which isn't saying much
because they're really bad to begin with

But just look how you could only see
how great B Hunt is in this
and makes this one memorable

They should have at least
given B Hunt some television to do
because she knows how to improve stuff
even television
which is much more famous than movies
after all of the great classics
were done and in the can

That says it all
B Hunt is the best part
of waking up
to see stuff like this
because only you
get to see her here
if only you
haven't seen her
anyplace else

Hey
B Hunt
even makes Pittsburgh
a better place
and almost as pretty
as Italy
unless this was really
all filmed in Pittsburgh
