Watch Falling in Love For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I never have had a good feeling about Meryl S acting. She always seems to be holding back her feelings and emotions. Her story lines seem to be so bland and boring. Therefore I hate this movie. It lacks any sort of excitement that one would generally find in this sort of story. The lines are ho hum...I do like Roberts wife in this movie. At least she has personality!

A wonderful film where Streep and DeNiro meet by accident and when they take each other's gifts in error, the love process starts.Though both are married to lovely people, there has something gone out of each marriage. Each person seems to be living parallel lives with regard to the other.For Streep, the relationship comes at a time of her father's illness and subsequent passing. DeNiro, in construction, has the opportunity to go to Houston.The story is told in plain, simple matter. There are no overt sexual scenes or violence.I questioned the role of Dianne Wiest here. Her character is under-rated and she was virtually mumbling along the way.

I liked this movie very much, and it was especially nice to watch it in Christmas time, as it showed New York in lavish Christmas decorations. Complete with the famous skating rink and all! :-) I also liked that although the ending was very foreseeable, this is Hollywood after all, this was not evident until - well, the ending! This movie is rather like "Brief Encounter" from the 1940:s. The same story about two people, already married, meeting by chance at a train/train station, and falling in love against their will. Also: in both movies, the couple get a chance to have sex, but they never do it. By the way, I find the fact that they do NOT have sex much more romantic than if they had. It shows that we have to do with basically decent people caught up in an unhappy situation - and because of this it is easier to sympathize with them."Brief encounter" ended unhappily though. Although the men in both movies got a job far away and moved, to put an end to the hopeless relation-that-must-not-be, in the old movie he never came back and - we must presume - the lovers never met again. I suppose everything else would have been impossible in the 1940:s, but in the 1980:s divorce was not such a bad thing anymore, and the movie-makers could allow the illicit couple to get together in the end.I suppose this kind of story is many bored, married women's fantasy... You are bored with your husband, but there are no "real" problems that would make it "legitimate" to leave him. Also - where would you go, what would you do..? Maybe you would just turn up lonely, unhappy and poor.Although you are in mature age, you have still not quite forgotten that dream about the prince on the white horse, who are coming to save you... maybe this is still not too late, although you are 35, 40, 45, 50..? But you do not want to go out and look for a new man deliberately, because that would be too cheap and trashy. And you would not want a man who was willing to do that to HIS spouse either - because a man like that would not be worth the degree of love and passion you dream of. Therefore you want it to happen as in these movies (and many more like them): by chance, against your conscious will - so that you can continue to look upon yourself - and him - as the decent people in the movies...

It has two of the best actors of the last times in their early careers. The script of the drama is fairly simple and since the beginning of the film its end can be predicted without error. Due to the many coincidences that occur throughout the film. I liked the atmosphere of Christmas in NYC, the hectic city life and the usual executive living in the suburbs, keeping a daily routine of travel and adherence to a schedule. For this reason there are many chances to have an opportunity like the one this couple had to develop a love affair Ms. Streep, as always, an excellent actress playing the role of the perfect beautiful medium class wife. For Mr. De Niro, unlike other roles, I do not think he had to work too hard in his role. Entertaining film.
