this be the most saccharine romance i ever sit through . the perfect film for an idle housewife in kerchief and housedress and and ostrich trim high heel mule to watch in the afternoon and lie on the couch eating bonbon . in fact and bonbon play a prominent role in the movie . the only reason i be able to watch to the end and be that i finally be able to gaze at keanu reef dreamy face in almost every scene . in most of his film and he move too fast to get a good look . the only rapid action in this show be giancarlo giannini wave his hand with latin emotionality more italian than mexican and really . the dialog be as stiff a wood . unfortunately and no bodice be rip the hero be disgracefully perfect mannered and mild . the aristocratic warm blood old world family cliche be as old a the hill . what do it matter if they be irish or italian or mexican . this be a fairy story . i know before the title finish run that this would not be the movie i hop for . the glow grape look like the paragon of all food ad in woman day magazine . i do not see his name list and but the art director surely be thomas kinkade and who paint the million dollar canvas of irish cottage snuggle in fuchsia . this film be literally see through rise colored glass . if you like dreamy pink and blue sky and this film be for you . ( the bonbon look really good and too . ) .
