The President Is Coming (2009)
Good Story ..... Bad Movie
The story idea was decent. But the movie was bad, very disappointing. I felt the director didn't do a good job because the screenplay was lacking. There were a couple of good scenes that made me laugh. But most of the jokes were contrived.
You can't get away from criticism by calling it a documentary (i.e. low budget). It needs to be compared to a commercial movie. My test is simple - Was it an entertaining movie? After sitting through the whole movie - the answer is No. I felt cheated because the movie could have been better than the final product that was presented.
Konkona Sen Sharma was a waste. I decided to watch the movie as I saw her name in the titles.
Love in the Afternoon (1957)
Disappointing, especially Gary Cooper's Performance
I was very Disappointed with the movie. It is possible that I had high expectations. It was to the point, that I didn't care what the ending scene would be. Would he take her along or would he not? My vote would be a 4. 6, like the earlier reviewer, would be too kind.
I wish Cary Grant had accepted the role. He would have been a better fit. I have a feeling, that with Cary the chemistry would have been better.
Audrey Hepburn's performance as usual was good. She really acted the part of a person who has fallen in love for the first time. The story was different and therefore the disappointment with the end result.
