I wanted more of Kate and Giovanni


The luminous Bonnie Hunt totally STOLE this movie. Not only did she look absolutely smashing..but she was funny and sweet and just so cutely uncomfortable with the amorous Giovanni. I really did like this movie (I know total chick flick, but who cares)...but Bonnie was the real star. Marissa Tomei was kind of whiney.

I would have to agree. And Joaquim de Alameida was totally YUMMY in this movie. I would've loved more scenes with the 2 of them. And yes, Faith's character was kind of annoying and whiney.
Bonnie Hunt *usually* steals the scenes she's in cuz she's just so fabulous. She is funny and beautiful but also has real acting chops.

more Kate & Giovanni please!!!

too late to go back & add some more? ;)

ya I agree, they two supplied the movie with the reality, because their affair went down and she finally accepted her unattractive, but clever hubbie - this is the bitter issue of the whole thing (and that is the question: better to be sensuously feeded with biscuits by the romantic gentleman than to stay with a good hard working man?)

I did too

but she had to go back to an ugly ass husband.

Yeah, I am not normally a fan of Bonnie Hunt's but she really impressed me in this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. I wonder if Marisa Tomei has ever been on her talk show. I would love to see them reunite.

I liked them, too. Wish we could have seen more. Too bad she told him, "I'm married". Couldn't she have had just one more lunch, one more dinner with him? Just for us?

Agreed. She was way too good for that tool of a husband. Bonnie Hunt's great in everything she does.


I only do it with superheroes.
