Watch Some Kind of Beautiful For Free

Memorable, crazy movie

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Hayek, Alba and Brosnan work it out. I didn't have any idea what I was expecting with this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised and pleased. It had some good humor, which is the COM part and it had some intimacy, which is the ROM part. That sums it up for ROMCOM. It is an enjoyable, light-heart-ed movie. It is also a great date flick. Of course, I adore my Latinas! The little boy was excellent in his role as well. The acting was great, especially the father's eye's when he looked at his son (Brosnan) with great intent. I've never seen such a piercing set of eyes with intensity. I rated this a bit higher to see if we can get it to a Solid 6 Stars. I don't care for enjoyable movies being below 6 Stars. If you like ROMCOM's, you will enjoy it as well.

SOME KIND OF BEAUTIFUL (2014) Starring Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba, This drama about a Cambridge professor trying to balance out of his chaotic life and finding the correct dynamics within his relationships is an interesting watch. Richard Haig (Pierce Brosnan) is delightful as a middle aged man who chose to move with his student to America to lead a family life but ultimately lands in a hot mess. He is left in America facing a dying career and a son to look after. Jessica Alba as Kate plays his young and ambitious wife with Salma Hayek as her elder sister, Olivia delivering the perfect comedic moments in the movie. Brosnan seems to fit in well in his very "English character". His efforts at soft comedy should be applauded as he switches well between a hardcore Poems Professor to a man who is confused to his wits end. The audience can relate to him and all but feel bad to see him facing a broken Family and some situational mishaps which leave him with the threat of deportation. Salma Hayek's accent is sweet to the ears and does her role as a protective elder sister with finesse. Malcolm Mcdowell plays the role of Brosnan's father with whom his relationship has gone slightly downhill. However the most heartwarming scenes of the movie are those which are between Richard and his son, emotional and well directed these scenes remind the audience that Richard is basically a good person and a father. The Editing and cinematography come across as a bit slow and Salma Hayek tends to overact in some scenes. However these things could be put aside if one wants to see it strictly as a onetime watch. As predicted, the movie ends on a feel good note with Brosnan getting the comforts he seeks to achieve in the first place.

Pierce go back to Ireland and dig ditches. You sir are a terrible (using the term very loosely here) actor. This film is blatantly pretentious and sophomoric in its delivery of "comedic" situations. The scene set ups for the punchlines are telegraphed so therefore the lines fall flat scene after scene. There are no surprise laughs in "Some Kind of Beautiful" only tried and not so true repeats of gags boringly reproduced in other Hollywood flops. The two "girls" playing opposite Pierce are totally forgettable and if its even remotely possible have done sever damage to there acting careers by being in this rabid dog of a movie. The boy playing Pierce's son was the only refreshingly good bit in this entire movie.This movie is definitely not a value for your time or your money. I rated it a 2, or 1 above the worst rating because of the boy's performance.

I loved this because it showed me that we've been sleeping on Pierce Brosnan out side of James Bond. What makes this Englishman think that he can woo women successfully? James Bond. Remington Steele. That's what. Ahhhh! But I saw as a Terroirst/Asssasin in "Survivor" with Ms. Jovinch ( I hope that's right). Anyway, after that I realized that I've been sleeping on Pierce. This movie is interesting beyond compare. It consists of Pierce, Selma Hayek, Ben McKenzie ( from Gotham), Malcolm McDowell. The story line is along the lines of very Rom-Com but it's fun and juicy. I love Selma's role with Jessuca Alba backing her up. This movie will make you laugh and clap your hands as root for the bad guy/good guy/ lover boy which changes characters. You must see this just to Deke's wife from "The King of Queens". Must see.
