An undervalued gem,

This review is from: Alex and Emma [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
I think the other reviewer doesn't do this film justice. Yeah its your typical boy meets girl but it puts a different spin on things and makes you laugh. Having the same actors for the book and real life means that there are some really effective comic scenes. It is also refreshing to have a hero with proper flaws and a heroine with a proper job. As characters they are surprisingly believable and the ending is well balanced and not too gooey. A romantic comedy in the truest sense of the moniker but definitely worth a watch!

Nice Relaxing Film - but Cheap,
By Sam "samueltyler" (Reading, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alex and Emma [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
Alex is an author with a gambling problem - he owes a lot of money to some dubious people. He has 30 days to pay up so he decides to get someone in to type up a book as he narrates it. His temp arrives in the form of bookish and forthright Emma who has an opinion on almost all he writes. The film then splits between showing the writing process and the characters in the book (played by Alex and Emma). Will Alex get his book finished in time? Will his feelings for Emma grow enough to withstand the introduction of a femme fatale?
'Alex and Emma' is a perfectly good romantic comedy that I happened across one night on TV. The budget suffers somewhat as a large part of the action takes place on one set and in the dubious looking past. However, the two leads in Hudson and Wilson make this a surprisingly funny experience. Hudson in particular proves to be an adept comedienne. I would not recommend this over better known rom coms, but as a way of passing a Sunday afternoon there are far worse experiences.

rob reiner career slump....,
By sam lowry (gtr manchester uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alex and Emma [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
this dreary film shows signs that the previously brilliant Rob Reiner-Stand by me, Misery, When Harry met sally, is now like many of his eighties contempories(Lucas, De Niro, Pacino,et al), directing this unfunny and not particularly good movie.
