unconditional love start with great promise . a direct by p. j. hogan and the film work great up until the last third of the movie and when it fall flat on it face . the screen play mr. hogan and jocelyn moorehouse write show a myriad of possibility that fizzle at the end . it appear the artistic team behind the movie have great hope for it to play differently . the reality be this be a film that be look in different direction in how to bring it to a resolution that ultimately fail . don not get me wrong and the movie be tremendously appeal and will resonate with a lot of it view public . base on the strong cast and we decide to take a look . the tremendously talented kathy bates be the perfect choice to play grace beasley and the woman who find at the beginning of the film that all be not well in her marriage . ms. bat be an excellent actress who deserve much good and even when her character be not help by what the author have her do in the film . rupert everett be always dependable into deliver . his role and a the late victor fox lover be well write and that be and until dirk be lure into come to chicago to find victor murderer . it bizarre and it defy all rule of logic . dirk doesn not look capable of hurt a fly and let alone hunt down a killer with the help of grace and her daughter in law and the incredible funny and maudey . a play by meredith eaton and this little woman and maudey and be one of the best thing in the film . she be brash and tell it a she see it . peter sarsgaard and one of the best actor work in film these day have nothing to do in the picture while he be totally wasted . dan aykroyd also have nothing to do . we see him at the beginning and at the end of the film and his max doesn not make sense . he appear to want change in his life and his marriage and only to come back to grace without any explanation and all thing forgiven . the english actor be good . lynn redgrave have a good opportunity a the hysterical nola . jonathan pryce be see throughout the film a a ghost singing bland song . julie andrews make a funny contribution in a couple of priceless scene . ultimately the television show host by sally jesse raphael be a turn off and doesn not add anything to the movie . the best part be hear kathy bates sing . what a beautiful voice she have . in fact and ms. bates be the best excuse for stay until the end .
