Short, independant flick reviews! Read about it, before you watch it!

Married Life - read more now!

In a nutshell: A married man’s desire for true love changes his life – not a chick flick at all and definitely worth watching :-)

The story: Harry, a moderately successful man in his fifties is married to Pam, a loving wife who defines relationship as sex and sex only. Surely a perfect woman for some men but Harry, who’s seeking for “true love”. Eventually, he finds what he was looking for with the young, featherbrained Kay (Rachel McAdams) or at least he believes so. As he decides to change life and live with his dream girl, sharing his intention with his dear friend Richard (Pierce Brosnan) is just the beginning of a lot of trouble…

Flickcritique says: A bit slow in the beginning, “Married Life” unveils the abysses of the upper class society in a amusing, funny way. I enjoyed watching Chris Cooper in his role as Harry. Truly excellent however was Patricia Clarkson aka Pam. Pierce Brosman was bit of a disappointment even though it’s rally hard for him to be any worse then in Mamma Mia :-( Married Life is one of the movies that are hard to categorize, it’s a bit of a comedy, a little bit of a drama but most important it’s worth you time to watch it :-D

Tip of the day (if you are a guy): Go to see this movie with your girlfriend, so next weekend you can ask her to watch together something she would otherwise say ‘no, no, no’ to, like Funny Games U.S. for example ;-)

Watch it if you liked: Lost in Translation (2003), Closer (2004), Kinsey (2004)
