Another movie based on the best-selling novel. More special is that the author of this novel is Steve Martin himself. I didn't expect that Hollywood's first-line comedians usually write, and their works can sell well, which is quite shocking. I checked and found that he is actually a veteran. So far, he has written as many as 28 movies, including his most famous "Pink Panther" series. The comedians here also publish books, but most of them are autobiographies, either creating or dedicating their youth or those around them to readers.

"Shopping Guide Girl" sold well, and Steve Martin proudly adapted it into a script and played one of the leading actors, Ray Potter, who is estimated to be a distant relative of Harry Potter. I also found Anand Tucker, the director of Hilary and Jackie of "She's Lonely Than Fireworks". The director seems to be Thai from the data, at least he was born in Bangkok, and it is difficult to determine his appearance. He looks like Jesus, who is both east and west. characteristics, which is surprising. The heroine is Claire Danes. I said before that she hasn't taken many films recently. This and "The Stones" are all her work in 2005. Another very important actor, Jeremy is played by Jason Schwartzman. I don't like him. He looks really dirty. , I think this person is really stupid! Really TMD stupid!

Romance stories, after all, are written by comedians, and there is no literary quality at all. It is rare that the director wants to be more detailed, but there is no place to settle, so I always feel that the camera is wandering aimlessly, but in the end I don’t know where to go. went? We have all seen many movies adapted from literary masterpieces, and often have the habit of quoting the original text in the narration. , what you shoot is better than just reading it out. Unfortunately, the director of this film also tried to do the same, but it was a pity that he read Steve Martin's famous words, the content of which is superficial and outrageous. Originally a main drama, it turned into a comedy, sigh, each unfortunate movie has its own misfortune...

Steve Martin is acting very seriously, but there is no trace of funny in the past, gentle and cruel person, I give it to He scored 80 and Claire Danes 75.

If I don't like this movie, no matter how I look at it, it's a twisted story.
