Un amour inattendu

This is actually not that bad of a movie. While certainly the script and the acting leave much to be desired, there is actually great chemistry between all of the actors. I feel bad for Dyan Cannon, who is a surprise to see in this and horribly underutilized. If you happen to catch this movie (I saw it on WE - formerly the Romance Network) plan on doing something else while you watch it - like opening a bottle of wine and working on a puzzle or something. And make sure no men are around as I doubt they'd be able to stand anymore than 5 minutes or so. The movie "Diamond Girl" is sort of like pizza rolls, so terribly bad for you and greasy, processed and cheaply made, yet you find yourself consuming the lot until the very end.

This movie like the book was meant to be lighthearted, and cute. I think that's what it was. I watched it the first time because I had read the book. I watched and taped it the second time because the actor Jonathan Cake who played Regan is hot. So if your a follower of romance books and you like fluff then you should like this movie. Besides the love making scene in the movie is a portrayal of how most women want their lovers/husbands to act.

In the UK we have a publishing house called Mills & Boon who specialise in romance novels. These books are not long about 230 pages and does what it says on the tin!! It is about the meeting and falling in love of two people and the obstacles they face along the way. Now if you have read any of these books you WILL appreciate Diamond Girl. I am not ashamed to say that my wife and I have read a number of Mills and Boon and this film is a good tribute to those books. The story was simple and the chemistry between the actors was there and I think Jonathan Cake is a classic Mills & Boon man. I enjoyed this film immensely and I am very happy to say that I have it as part of my DVD collection and when I need to some light entertainment to get me through an hour and a Half I will happily turn to the film Diamond Girl.

this movie has the romantic essentials. it has the eye looking, friendship, attraction, the complications, and the happy ending. for all the romantics out there this movie is great for you. i personally wouldn't mind having this movie in my collecion. trust me if your not a romantic this movie is not for you.

I, like one of the previous reviewers, caught this movie on WE. I was only able to see the second half. What I saw made me want to buy the video. I had to wait til it aired again on WE. It was worth it. The movie makes little sense. But this is typical of most human relationships in our modern world. Dissecting the movie is a waste of effort. But the emotion that is stirred in the viewer is something else. One just feels good viewing this movie. Maybe that is the essence of paperback romance novels of today. One simply feels an uplift while reading them. Going any deeper destroys the ambiance.
