Martinvan12 Review of Alex & Emma

Alex & Emma (2003)

Rob you should have worked on the film more, your political causes less

[6/10 · 29 June 2003]

I go to a romantic comedy to see the tension between two people and the suspense of the plot. Well, there was little of both. I felt like the screenwriters didn't want to write a movie, but it was time to make money on past accomplishments (Rob Reiner). The story contained too many characters. I didn't think the different foreign characters of Emma was needed. The plot should have been stronger than to use that bad trick. The Cuban loan sharks were insulting and dumb. I got tired of Alex's apartment. The one scene that should have played the best was when the couple spent the day not working and decided to go into the city. Opportunity missed! At the end of that day, they should have had there first kiss. Hello! When the two finally got together later in the film it was anti-climatic. Maybe I am crazy, but Alex could of seemed a little more happy when he looked at Emma. Kate Hudson is beautiful. What a smile! If you are looking for a better romantic comedy with the same premise check out "My Dear Secretary (1948)." Rob Reiner if you ever get to read this, I waited a month to see this movie and was very disappointed.
