I generally write reviews for all the movies I view, and I'm really struggling with this one - haven't decided quite yet, after sleeping on it overnight, if I liked it or disliked it. It'll all magically come out, as usual though, when I write a review later Today...

Four people forced to fend for themselves in life -- a burdened twelve-year-old boy, the cashier he has a crush on, an angry taxi driver and the estranged daughter of one of his passengers -- come together in two embraces.

Dos Abrazos

Emma Thomspson displays a spontaneous, slapstick, & totally hilarious comedic talent that we haven't seen from her since. The first time they had sex is an inspired farce. A delight in every way.

Stars Edward Norton who gives a great performance as a magician from humble roots who tries to win the hand of a Duchess well above his social standing. Strong supporting performance by Paul Giammati as the Chief Police Inspector.
Very good special effects. 4 1/2 stars.

Next up is The Visitors, a French comedy about two Medieval Knights who are accidentally transported to the 20th Century by a senile sorcerer and must cope with modern life.
Very high ratings by NF members on the regular website.

"Beauty and the Beast" with nudity and sex... It's actually pretty funny.
