Love Again

Well, it wasn't as awful as I had imagined it would be. Foremost, poor Sam Heughan just can't catch a a good script, a good opportunity...a good director? I dunno. Maybe this Scottish hunk will always be Jamie from Outlander. He's very good in outlander, strong and confident in his performances, but in other works he continually fails to engage the role. Or maybe he's just not enough box office material to get offered an opportunity to show his acting chops beyond the kilted hero. He's not connecting on screen, despite his chiseled good looks. It's a disappointment for one who's watched his career over the years.

The film? Oh, let's not get all worked up that's it not the greatest rom-com of all times. It's formulaic, banal and poorly written and we all know it was a platform for Celine. But there were a few moments of great delivery by all involved - a few laughs. The film isn't awful. Good enough for 5, maybe 6 stars. I'll give it 6 because of Heughan. One of these days, Sam, you'll get to sink your teeth into a role - and then we'll know if you're the It Guy. You're so freaking likable, I'll continue to place my bets on you.
