james gandolfini - Albert
julia louis-dreyfuss - Eva
A story about two people who think they won't find another chance in love. Albert is a widower, a fat man and living on his own. Eva, a widow and a mother of one, a masseur with lots of customers. They met at a party, both claimed that no one gain their interest at the party. This is where the story starts.
This movie tells how an average person met and how their feeling evolve, just like other stories, inner beauty will finally win.
One of eva's customers is Marianne, a famous writer and motivator. Also a mother of one daughter who turns out is going to college, just like eva's daughter. They find themselves drawn into friendships, as a woman who failed in the marriage life, each of them share their stories. Eva shares how her ex-husband was, how they fell in love and years gone by, they feel like they don't know each other. Marianne also shares about his ex-husband, how he was clueless in bed, his ability in only one dish, and other lack of taste. People get connected when they think they live in the same situation. Marianne is more dominant in their friendship, while eva swallow the whole idea of a perfect relationship from Marianne.
The story is very common, when we receive bad influence over and over again, it will stays in our head and reflects in our action. Finally eva will have to choose, a good friend or a possible lover.
I like this movie cause it just so outspoken, the scenario is also so simple and reflects our daily life. I really could understand how eva thinks and do as a woman, how she thinks everything could work out perfectly.
I give this movie 3,8/5 stars!
