Better than VOD release would suggest

This comedy is quite fun to watch with a middle aged professor and his two lovely love interests who are considerably younger. There are some astute observations about differences between the US and the UK. The contrast between English students and American students is funny. Liked the twist where the one facing deportation is a white guy and the Hispanics are legal. The commentary about excessive drinking in the British culture is right on. The villa is quite idyllic.

Pierce Brosnan is well preserved so things don't look icky. He didn't let himself go like some other actors his age. Still looks better than Daniel Craig. Salma Hayek is lovely and should be on screen more. Jessica Alba is pretty and makes her annoying character appealing. Supporting cast Ben McKenzie is not quite right. Malcolm McDowell is a bit young to be Pierce's father.

It's worth one watch.

Another Great Salma Hayak Performance

I love Salma Hayak ( this is movie 19 of hers I have seen),so I am extremely biased towards anything she is in. So it goes without saying, she is the the main thing that I liked about Some Kind Of Beautiful. The main star is not Salma, but Pierce Brosnan ( Richard) who falls in love with her character Olivia at first sight ( that I can understand),but he ended up knocking up her sister Kate played by Jessica Alba, and marred her. Two things that are interesting is the more mature sister is Kate despite being younger, and Jake who is the son of Richard and Kate is not only closer to his dad, but Olivia as well. Spoilers ahead: Eventually, Kate divorces Richard because she loves someone named, Brian, and in the final scene Richard proposes to Olivia and she says yes. If you like Salma or Pierce Brosnan do not miss this movie. 10/10 stars.

I do desire we become better strangers

Richard Haig (Pierce Brosnan) teaches the Romantics at Cambridge where he meets an American student Kate (Jessica Alba) and after 6 months she is pregnant. Richard does the right thing and goes with his young bride to LA, which is "a lot like Cambridge with palm trees and chicks with tans." Meanwhile he has met Kate's half sister (Salma Hayek) and we pretty much know the plot after their first encounter and subtitle "Every good love story has three sides."

This is a romantic comedy that has no heart. I didn't establish feelings for the characters. Richard and Kate are initially developed to the point of us feeling "meh" about them. While it has a happy ending, it didn't grab me. It was not a Puffs moment. It is a film you will soon forget as Salma Hayek's butt/side breast gets posted to Mr. Skin. Ho-Hum.

Guide: F-bomb. Sex. Brief rear nudity. Jessica Alba bra/panties.
