Brando, bist du schon an dem Buch dran?
Ich lese es gerade und ich mag es sehr. Am Anfang fand ich es ein wenig lahm, aber mittlerweile gefällt es mir. (:
Ja, ich habs fast durch.
Ich finds noch ein wenig holprig.
Die Lobeshymnen allüberall erschließen sich mir noch nicht so ganz.
Immerhin gibts ja ein Kracher-Ende.
Das hab ich zuerst gelesen.
btw: Wie heißt denn der Film mit Ellen Burstyn und Alan Alda, der nach dem gleichen Schema aufgebaut ist? Lief vor kurzem erst mal wieder im TV.

Ist das die Perspektive, oder hat Anne abgenommen?
Sie war ja schon immer schlank, aber in "Love And Other Drugs" wirkte sie irgendwie doch ein wenig weiblicher...

Der Trailer zu "Zwei an einem Tag".
Die ersten Kritiken sind durchwachsen.....
Aus der Daily Mail:
Compared with how good it should have been, it’s a disaster.
...
Disappointment: Jim Sturgeons delights as Dexter but Anne Hathaway doesn't live up to expectations as Emma
...
...
The biggest weakness, and it’s a catastrophic one, is Anne Hathaway. She’s as awful here as she was terrific in The Devil Wears Prada.
It’s not so much that she can’t do a Yorkshire accent, though it comes and goes from scene to scene; but the effort of maintaining an English accent of any kind utterly destroys her performance, much as it did her dire attempt to impersonate Jane Austen in Becoming Jane.
The professionalism of everyone around her —including Patricia Clarkson, another American —makes her look even more embarrassingly amateurish.
...
She altogether lacks any sexual chemistry with Dexter, and because the script almost entirely airbrushes out her Left-wing politics and self-destructive tendencies with men —her relationship with a married one has disappeared altogether — she comes across as bland and not particularly interesting.
Worse, she becomes stupid and self-involved, in a way that she isn’t in the novel.
Instead of us wishing the two of them would get together, we’re rooting for them to stay apart.
...
Anne Hathaway is far too slim and conventionally beautiful for the role. The same might have been said of Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones’s Diary, but she took steps to prepare by putting on weight to de-glamorise herself.
All Hathaway does is wear glasses and sport some unbecoming haircuts; it’s never enough.
On the page, Emma struck me as a potentially Oscar-winning role, one with whose insecurities and moments of self-destructive spikiness billions of women could identify.
I imagined Anna Maxwell-Martin in the role —the Yorkshire-born actress who starred in the TV series South Riding, North And South and Bleak House.
Hathaway just doesn’t have the depth, sexual angst or sheer ability required to develop the character.
It needed a young Judi Dench.

As if 'One Day' flopping at the box office isn't bad enough, now star Anne Hathaway, who goes British in the film, has just been named to Life magazine's list of "The Worst Accents in Movie History."
Her character Emma is supposed to hail from Leeds, so Hathaway should sound something like actors who are actually from there, like 'Tron: Legacy's James Frain or John Simm from 'Life on Mars.' According to Life, her "research" was watching the World Cup and hanging out in pubs. No wonder that accent is all over the map!
She's now among cinema's most monumentally awful British accents, like Kevin Costner in 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,' Keanu Reeves in 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' and one of the worst offenders ever: Dick Van Dyke as a cockney chimney sweep in 'Mary Poppins.'
