Most helpful review The Night We Never Met

  • The movie I should never rent

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Simulet from West Sussex , 13 Jul 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    This movie is quite depressing to say the least. Mr Sarah Jessica Parker (Broderick) is a terribly dull lifeless actor. He reads his lines as if in a trance; he lacks charisma and makes the movie a flop. Jeanne Tripplehorn is awful at imitating a French accent. I speak French and a lot of my friends are French, yet I had difficulty understanding what she was blabblering. Then again her character is a pointless one (and 90% of the cast would fall in that category), and not understanding what she says is not the end of the world.

    Interesting arrangement though to have three people sharing an apartment at $90/ month; tell me where to sign! I think the only person watching was Doris Roberts (person who plays Everybody Loves Raymond's mother). Cool pastime smoking at the window and seeing the world go round you.

  • Things have changed

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    One of those instances where the film you remember is far better than the film you see again. In this case, I must have edited about 80% of it out of my mind and then made the remaining 20% a lot better than it is.

    Want to see a true classic, watch 'The Apartment'.

    This is a cleverly written light romantic comedy. Try it you might enjoy it.

  • Not enough romance or comedy. Cute female lead, though

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By Alex Morris from UK , 10 Nov 2004
    The first (and last) time I saw this, a decade ago, I quite liked it. I guess my taste has improved somewhat since then. This is a light, fluffy, romantic comedy which is light on both the romance and the comedy, although Matthew Broderick's scenes in the deli raise some sympathetic grins. There are no characters in this film, only caricatures, and the resolution is both contrived and sudden. It's almost as if the makers ran out of film and had to end it then and there. Still Annabella Sciorra was cute, so the film wasn't a complete loss.

  • RENT ME!

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Frank S from Glasgow , 30 Oct 2004
    You know that way you have a wee secret film that no-one else has heard of, and feel the need to spread the word about it? Well, this. Three folk have a stake in the same flat, and stay there on a rotational basis throughout the week. 'Monday' never meets 'Tuesday', 'Tuesday' never meets 'Wednesday', and so on. One's stuck in a stiffling marriage, and uses the flat (or appartment - those crazy yanks!) as an artistic outlet. One's about to get married, but is unwilling to leave his bachelor days behind without a final yee-ha. And the third has just left a frankly insane relationship, and needs some healing time. Notes are left. Wires get crossed. Things get messy. The entire cast is a joy to spend time with, and even the "bad" guy is given a bit of humanity. Jean Tripplehorn is a revelation as performance artiste Pascal (her "my mother, my sister" pisstake of 'Chinatown' is enough to justify a rental), but the greatest kudos must go to Matthew Broderick. Ferris Bueller Grows Up And Gets A Beard, and turns in a performance timed to perfection - check out the immmaculate wine cork business happening behind Brooke Smith (Catherine Martin in "Silence Of the Lambs" - the lady in the well, you know? Good). So take a chance and rent this baby - if you don't like it, let me know and I'll compose a poem about you as an apology. Seriously. It'll rhyme and everything.
