DVD : She's So Lovely [1997]
Rating: 
- one of the most peculiar films i've ever seen
This film delivered nothing I expected, but astounded me from start to finish. It manages to be a love story, a drama and a comedy, without falling prey to any of the cliches that usually haunt each genre. As the wild, drink-addled husband and wife, Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn's chemistry is, given the couple's individual acting talents and their marriage, unsurprisingly superb, but in fact there isn't a dud performance in the film at all. John Travolta is wonderful as Wright Penn's bemused and enraged second husband, the part of the 9-year-old eldest daughter is played with impressive sophistication, and the script serves them all well; Sean Penn, known for his dark roles, shows his comic edge and is by turns sharp, pathetic and hysterically funny, offset beautifully by the manic, chainsmoking Wright Penn. Towards the end of the film [don't worry, no spoilers] the story feels a little disjointed, until the film ends and you realise that it was all played out perfectly; volatile, human and refreshingly uncliched from start to finish, She's So Lovely is unpredictable and engaging, and it's a mystery to me that this film isn't better known and better appreciated. Seriously well worth purchasing.
Rating: - An aquirred taste
Not what the hard core Sean Penn fan expects. Alcohol, small crimes and a twisted love triangle link John Travolta, Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn in this sweet and sour comedy/drama.
All the performances are as such credible names would have you expect, but it moves a bit slowly in parts.
In short, a low life couple are split up when Sean Penn goes to jail, and she (Robin Wright Penn) gets on with life and ends up remarried. But when he is released, slighty chilled and slightly nuts, her new life is threatened by the return of what us true romantics would term her one true love.
I'd think carefully about purchasing this if you haven't already seen it and loved it.
