Hi,
I need to tell you about patchwork quilts. Bear with me for a moment, it's part of the movie. Women used to save old clothes and such in bags. On long winter nights, they would sew them into bedsized sheets. Two would be sewn together around an insulating material to form a quilt. Such quilts were part love, part thrift, a dash of history told by the memories the patches would invoke. They were the stuff of life. They were odds and ends turned into something new. The movie is a patchwork quilt, when you see the last scene, you will understand that. But since most of you came after the time when everyone made and had such things; i wanted you to know.
I liked the movie. It steals good scenes from dozens of movies, that is it's main strength. But don't expect 'art' or Bergman, or even plausiblity..... But if you want a lovely, funny movie to take the Missus to; this is nice.
Follow Ups:
I'm keeping an open mind and will see it but the trailer makes it look as if it's trying very hard to make us like it. Your comments?
Hi,
the patchwork IS the film. It's a series of stories connected at the edges, lots of switching from story to story as one gets done, the film moves to another part of the quilt. The film acts as a quilt, wraps you up and keeps you warm. I enjoyed it for what it was, many won't enjoy it because of what it isn't. It's a pleasant little matinee romantic comedy. I always stop at a really good place that sells chocolates for these movies (Len Libbys, Rte 1 Scarborough, try the dark choc cashew clusters, or the Needham ice cream in summer).....that helps.
