Love is All You Need 2012


Love Is All You Need     Ida is a hairdresser in Denmark, she comes home and discovers her husband with a woman co-worker.  Ida and her husband Leif are supposed to fly to Italy for their daughter’s wedding.  Ida decides to fly alone and she backs into Philip’s car in the parking garage.  He’s also heading to the same wedding and his son is getting married to Ida’s daughter.  Philip doesn’t care for living in Denmark but he’s a stern businessman fully involved in his job.  In the beginning, Ida and Philip seem to have nothing in common but the shared festivities for the wedding start to bring them together.
     This film is too predictable, following the formula, full of fluff and forgettable.  The only bright side is the scenery in Italy.  Most of the cast speaks Dutch and English but Brosnan speaks English and never Dutch?  He must be able to understand or he’s just following the script?  3* (This movie is OK)

116, Drama directed by Susanne Bier with Pierce Brosnan, Sebastian Jessen, Trine Dyrholm, Kim Bodnia, Molly Blixt Egelind, Paprika Steen.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.5 out of 10, 74% critic 61% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
