VHS Movie Reviews of Music From Another Room
Movie Review: Desperate attempt at magical reality fails
Summary: 1 Stars
I adore Jude Law, but even his considerable charms are sadly dimmed in this pathetic effort. The plot reads like a reject from the "high-concept" comedy assembly line at 1980's Touchstone Pictures: young boy delivers baby, falls instantly in love with infant girl, then returns more than 20 years later to fulfill a "destiny" he had apparently forgotten: marrying her. You'll never guess what happens next ... Oh, all right! Of course you will. Aside from how truly dreadful it is, this film lacks any surprises.
No character in the film betrays a whit of common sense as they are folded, spindled and mutilated in service of a storyline so painstakingly-contrived as to be embarrassing. Director Charlie Peters fails to correct any of the flaws in his own screenplay (according to IMDb, it took this hack another 11 years to land any sort of gig at all), shoehorning a generally impressive cast into trite situations unleavened by any worthy dialogue. The pacing is wrong -- Helen Keller could have done a better job editing this mess. Especially depressing is the lack of chemistry between any of the leads. This movie fails at all levels -- and is made all the worse by a garish production design that leaves the physically-attractive cast looking as bad as they ever have on film.
Even Jude Law's one shirtless scene is brief, and shot in near-darkness for crying out loud! The DVD transfer is poor, there is no widescreen version, and the "extras" consist solely of the theatrical trailer that serves as fair warning to potential viewers.
There really is no one to whom I can recommend this film.
