Most helpful review When A Man Loves A Woman

  • Meg gets serious whilst drunk...

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By Andy from Exeter, England , 11 Aug 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Meg Ryan gets to vacate a bit of the fluffiness from her star persona in this one and shows that she can definitely act a little. She goes through a bit of a transition in this movie. We get Meg being kinda cute with that familiar impish twinkle in her eye to begin with, then we find her stash of vodka hidden in really badly conceived hiding spots around the house, then shock!!! horror!!! Meg starts stumbling home from the pub after work DRUNK, swears at everyone DRUNK!!!, falls out of the shower DRUNK and smacks her child DRUNK. Pretty heavy stuff.

    To be fair Meg's good, but Andy Garcia steals the show (how is he not a bigger star???) as her Airline pilot husband who has to try to pick up the pieces of his wifes excesses (try not bringing home the duty free for your wife Andy, that might help).....And I guess that's it, nicely acted, but nothing new in terms of general plot...

  • When a man loves a woman

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By grrenfingers (136 reviews) from New Milton , 07 Jun 2011
    I love this film.Its intense,emotional,sad and it will tug at your heartstrings.Meg Ryan is great.you ll feel sorry for her character in one moment and then youll be shocked at her behaviour in the next. You ll think her husband is great and understanding until she starts to recover! Then you might change your mind. A powerful storyline.

    I felt like a trip down memory lane when I watched this movie. Such a poignent story of love pushed to limit when the wife (Meg Ryan) admits to having a severe problem with the drink. The scenes with her eldest daughter will make even the hardest heart melt. A thoughly great performance from the two leads, it will have you crying into your tissues by the end.
