Watch When a Man Loves a Woman For Free

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Very Cool!!!

Fantastic!

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

An airline pilot and his wife are forced to face the consequences of her alcoholism when her addictions threaten her life and their daughter's safety. While the woman enters detox, her husband must face the truth of his attitude and tolerance.........Which to be fair is really good considering his situation.And this is why the film really rubbed me up the wrong way. Whom is the victim in this relationship? Is it Ryan? She has a disease, so she is forgiven when she strikes her daughter and tries to commit the most selfish act any human can do.Is it Garcia? A hard working put upon husband who is always on tenterhooks as to whether he can go and do an honest days work, without worrying about the sobriety of his Wife.Sure, he loses his temper a little halfway through the film, so when Saint Meg comes out of rehab all clean and sober, to thank Garcia, she throws him out of the house with a doe eyed look.It's a terrible film with an awful message.It's basically saying if you are middle class with a good income and plenty of hiding spaces,then it's okay to be a drunk, because you have respect from your peers and all your friends. Ryan plays an awful drunk, slightly slurring and shouting at times, and then when she is better, she goes from slightly irritating drunk, to downright abhorrent angel.There's no realism to the film, and to add the ice to the cocktail, we finish with an award ceremony where Ryan gives a speech about everything bad she has done, and Garcia is there and they all live happily ever after.If you want to see a film about hoe alcohol can affect home life, see Nil by Mouth.If you want to stay in your silly bubble see this, it's so unrealistic, it almost veers into the world of fantasy.Honestly, Arthur was more realistic than this.Cheers.

I'm not sure how to feel about this movie. As you probably know, Meg Ryan plays an alcoholic mother of two with a pilot for a husband. The husband, in this case, is played by Andy Garcia. Now, while watching this movie, I hated Garcia at first but really grew to like him. I now really like Andy Garcia. I really hated Meg Ryan's performance in this movie. I didn't understand who she was at all. And maybe her character didn't either. Either way, this movie is slow, and in trying to be instructive - instructive about the horrors and difficulties of alcoholism and the dangerous enabling of co-dependence - comes off as didactic. Movies really shouldn't be didactic. Don't know what didactic means? Maybe I don't either. Nevertheless, I don't think this is a great movie, or even a good one. Maybe it's an okay one. It takes place in San Francisco, which is cool. A lot of movies take place in San Francisco, though.

I saw this when it first came out. I thought it was a love movie. I took my girlfriend at the time. Didn't like it then. Then I saw it again cause I had to. Then I got the premise of the movie. Then going through life I saw it with open eyes. Sort of lived it. If you know what Im talking about, watch it. Maybe it will give perspective. At the end of the movie it give you hope. There are some great lines in the movie. when the little says " what is an alcoholic?" When Andy goes to meeting for the first time then the second time. Wow did that. The struggles of an alcoholic, didn't know then. Know something now. I think Meg plays this part great. The meeting in the movie really show the inside of AA.

I really hated this film. I quite liked the beginning when Meg Ryan descended from bubbly to downright alcoholic but then the rest of the film was just completely lost on me. First and foremost, I find it a failure in the script that the story focused entirely on the relationship between the two grown ups and neglected the children. Personally, I think this would have been the more interesting story. But secondly, I just didn't get what Garcia's character was supposed to have done wrong. I honestly didn't although I was prepared to. So he may have been a macho but I saw him as being portrayed as supportive and a victim of her alcoholism just as the rest of the family. Why he should be partly responsible for it is beyond me as it was never properly explained.
