Too many characters in this book - so much so that the author had to put not only a 'family tree' at the front of it but also a 'cast of characters'. It was a good job she did too as I found...
Ultimately, I enjoyed this book but at times it became difficult to keep track of who was who! All of the husbands, exes, and kids started to just kind of meld together! The story was an...
This has become one of my favorite books after just one reading. The best word to describe it is charming. It is a quick read, captivating throughout, and the humor is quite witty. I hope there...
Like many other reviews I read here, I feel compelled to write this review because I have to unload on somebody. I picked up this book at the library thinking that it was a creative non-fiction,...
What other white-knuckled driver would buy an RV, cross the country with three young kids, give them all journals to write in, and then turn it into a book? Julia and her book are an inspiration...
For all of us that have traveled near or far with our families in tow.. this is a great story as told by all members of one family. Every member of our family enjoyed reading this adventure....
A tale of four people whose lives are intertwined and who have an odd nack for sado-masochism, Closer ultimately fails to sustain interest because it never gains what it most needs: Empathy. Jude...
Though the movie sometimes suffers from too-quick jumps in time and the fact that the main characters are universally despicable, it is still worth watching due to the...
This film has a real power to it, and presents a major historical figure in a way that is easy to appreciate. The acting and directing is superb and the film is very engrossing, and in some places...
This movie, while somewhat interesting, was so historically inaccurate and lopsided it's laughable. Alan Rickman's performance as Eamonn de Valera deserves particular mention; there's simply no...
I think this movie can be summed up in two simple words: long and violent. But fascinating nonetheless. Neal Jordan takes a somewhat biased look at the life of Michael Collins, and I think he tried...
Having two of the premiere stars in Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts can't hurt any movie but in this one they are simply great. The Premise behind it is that an oil speculator is killing...
This movie starts off interesting, but then goes south. The plot twists may be seen about ten miles off and the ending is unsatisfying. Another big problem with this movie is that you will never...
I must say that this is a great movie; great cast, great story, great direction. I do think it sad and annoying though that in this technilogical day and age, that I have to get up and turn the...
If you've seen the film Enough, you know what to expect here...
While on vacation on the beach, housewife Laura fakes her own death to escape her obsessive compulsive and abusive husband, Martin. Laura has painstakingly planned her escape, knowing that if he...
Wow. This movie's bad. But it's good for a laugh if you're in the mood for some brainless fun. Patrick Bergen gives one of the great over-the-top performances of all time as the psycho...
I saw this movie years ago and still think it to be one of Robert's best. It is essentially a noir toned movie, eerie to think that someone could marry such a wicked man, that someone actually...
Didn't care for the movie dying young. I felt the movie just went on and on. Sleeping with the Enemy was ok. But after about the first 1/2 hour I was bored with it.
I saw this movie in the theatres when it first came out in 1996, and have to admit that at the time, it didn't leave much of an impression. I'm a reader of classic literature, and was familiar...
This is a well acted and directed alternative version of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde classic tale. It does have some graphic scenes which would make it unsuitable for younger children. It is one...
I don't know why this movie got so many great reviews on here. The movie is not bad, but is certainly not good. However, what makes this movie really horrible is Julia Roberts. I am a HUGE Julia...
Excellent movies, but each with a different slant. Best Friend is a funny and cute movie. Suitable for viewing time and again over the years. Stepmom is a more serious and sad movie that you...
Two great films put together for on great afternoon!
This two films are different in their context, but bond together perfectly to make a great collection. Stepmom is a great, tear shedding film that will open the viewer's heart. My Best Friend's...

I have no problem with light "date" movies. But there has to be some sort of plot and the characters have to be developed. In Notting Hill, you have an underwritten screenplay and two...
At first glance Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant do not seem like a romance made in heaven. However, this movie is wonderful and they do have that romantic energy on screen.
I enjoy happy endings and romantic comedies. Not a thought provoking movie, but a good one when one is in the mood for a good chick flick. Plus Hugh Grant is eye candy...
Coupling a garden-variety inspiration teacher story to an uninteresting love triangle between Julia Roberts and her two suitors, Mona Lisa Smile is only of interest to...
The only reason I can honestly say that this film is not as bad as, say, Saving Private Ryan or Titanic or From Hell is simple- the babes are cute as hell- Maggie Gyllenhaal is always sexy in a sly...
Julia Roberts is cast as a young, idealistic teacher who takes her first teaching job at a strait-laced Ivy League girl's college. She strives to bring the girls into the 20th Century by teaching...
Mystic Pizza is a workplace drama that takes place on the East Coast in the town of Mystic, Connecticut. It was filmed at the actual pizza parlor that inspired Amy Jones to write the story, in the...
Despite the fact that Julia Roberts' face is displayed predominantly on the cover of this DVD, it's not a vehicle just for her. It maybe set her on the way to stardom, but she's in no way a great...
This film was just stupid. Several friends work in a pizza parlor together, and their lives go in different directions. Julia Roberts in one of her earliest roles, and MY MY MY has she changed. She...
I enjoyed seeing Haskell Wexler in some candid moments, but I was continually rattled by the contrast between this film's portrayal of a truly accomplished cinematic artist, the elder Wexler, and...
A tender (though flawed) love story where love and death intertwine
"Dying Young," based on the novel of the same name by Marti Leimbach, follows the adventures of Oakland native Hilary O'Neil (a luminous Julia Roberts), a beautiful and frustrated young woman who...
"Dying Young" The soundtrack alone is enough to make you watch this movie over and over again. Why not just buy the soundtrack? You might ask, the scenes' and the music fit together like a...
I found this to be a loving but oddly incomplete biography of Sven Nyquist by his son, Carl-Gustav(Erland Josephson, credited above, is the film's narrator). It's a shame that the great...
My favorite Peter Pan movie. Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman are great and the storyline is awesome. One of my favorite fantasy movies. The way Robin's imagination grows and the way his gang...
I am a true-blood, die-hard fan of Barrie's original Pan, and inconsistencies and the ways modern adaptations/sequels/prequels can skew the original concept usually bug me. It's easy to be put off...
Cannot imagine a worse Spielberg movie. This movie must have been a hoot for all of the stars in it to make, but the editing room must have been a morgue when they realized they could not piece...

I saw Ocean's Eleven, reluctantly, and fell in love. It opened the door for me to be able to tolerate George Clooney and Brad Pitt (although 12 Monkeys and Fight Club continue to be his best...
At first, I couldn't understand how so many highly-paid and famous "stars" would willingly participate in this dud. But then somebody told me everyone in Hollywood is on cocaine which makes...
Though the caper aspects of Ocean's Twelve are rather dissapointing, the amusing character interaction, several hilarious scenes, and an inspired gag involving Julia...
I may be in the minority on this one, but this is my favorite Julie Roberts movie. Maybe it is my love of the South or my love of horses, but I find this movie to be funny and charming and pure...
If you love this movie or think the pairing of Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid (I really do like both of them) sounds like a great movie, you should stop reading right now..
Something to Talk About starring Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid is a good chick flick. The two stars are funny and have natural chemistry but the person who really steals every scene is Kyra...
This is one of my favorites ever! I watch it all the time. Great acting, script and music. Julia Roberts is my favorite actress and Susan Sarandon is right near the top of my list also. And when...
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the father (Ed Harris) was mostly absent from his kids' lives? It appears that he and his first wife (Susan Sarandon) divorced because he's a...
it was an awesome movie with susan sarandon and julia roberts finding an unlikely friendship with each other. making susan die in the movie adds a lot of emotions. i didn't care for the snotty...
These are heart- warming movies that you will love!
The only reason I didn't give these movies 5 stars is because of some of the excessive foul language. But, if you don't have kids or if you ever have time to curl up with a good movie alone, these...
Love this movie. It paces nicely, and has a good 'take-me-for-a-ride' feeling to it. The quality of the picture itself is good. I'll watch this movie once or twice a year. Thanks for finding it for...
This one was okay, but a bit too long. The funniest part is actually the scene where Nick Nolte and the boyscouts find Julie Roberts skinny dipping, giving Nick a chance to expose "the real Julia"...
I Love Trouble is a lightweight romantic comedy of helium-filled proportions. It is effectively a vehicle for everyone's favourite movie darling of the early 1990s, Julia Roberts, to have some fun...
Who is everyone kidding? There are no heart-felt feelings, no deep stirrings of the human soul. The lack of true romance is best demonstrated when Evert arrives in Chicago and he has a...
A slew of great performances elevate this comedic hit...
Sharp-witted and genuinely engaging, `My Best Friend's Wedding' is a surefire hit for anyone interested in a crowd pleasing romantic comedy. It has a few missteps, that's a give in, but the...
I normally don't do the romantic comedy thing. And I am not a fan of Julia Roberts. But this film wasn't all that bad. It has a good pace and did keep my interest for most of it. It doesn't follow...
