A Rarity - a Pierce Brosnan Stinker - Lessons in Love review by MD
I was surprised I had not heard about this film when I saw it on the CP list, but 20 minutes in I understood why - it is dire!
The whole set up was ridiculous, and no-one seemed to believe in anything they were doing. The pairing of Brosnan and Hayek worked really well in "After the Sunset", but here there was no chemistry, and the whole persona of Brosnan's character was a real turn off.
I tried to believe Jessica Alba was worth hanging on for, but it was all pretty excruciating. Needless to say, comedy was in short supply, too.
Definitely one for masochists only.

Grrrrr - Lessons in Love review by PJB
There were no subtitles for this film, which fine if you can hear OK but a waste of time if you are hard of hearing. So I have only given it one star as I hardly watched any of it. Distributors of such DVDs only have themselves to blame if their films are rated lowly for being so indifferent to those whose hearing may not be as good as theirs.
