A wonderful, delightful little film The Leading Man is what every indie film should be - well written, perfect casting, great directing. Though the draw is Bon Jovi, it is the way the film plays that is so good. I highly recommend this film.
Clever movie... a Must have for Jon Bongiovi fans! I agree with the positive reviews on this one. The plot and humor are clever and Jon plays Robin Grange well - he makes a devious character quite likeable. If you want to see a lot of Jon, you shouldn't pass on this movie. It took me forever to get through the entire movie because I kept rewinding certain parts where Jon looked especially yummy or said something rather funny. A lot of dry wit and a nice touch of suspense and irony at the end. Well worth the money. Some nudity, unfortunately, not Jon's (grin).
Bon Jovi is perfectly cast Bon Jovi may not be a Shakespearean actor, but he has chops enough to play a smarmy American that easy to hate, and even easier to envy. The film may be nothing more a series of ruses, but it is fun to watch the actors work. Thandie Newton is particularly good as the object of the playwright's affection, who nearly succumbs to the wicked charms of the awful American. Bon Jovi oozes with fake charm and star quality persona, which is exactly what the role called for. This nothing more than diverting entertainment, but it is fun nonetheless.
interesting...not much more to say okay, i've read most of the other reviews for this movie and had high expectations for it. i mainly wanted to see it for jon bon jovi, maybe because he is really HOT. anyway, i was a little disappointed, but it was an overall job well done. i'm just going to state the fact that i'm only a teenager, which explains why i found a couple of scenes awkward. to make it short and simple, i would recommend that you only watch this movie before you turn out the lights to make it more interesting. in my opinion of course, you may have your own
BEST JOVI MOVIE EVER!!!! if you are looking at this movie for the same reason i did (bon jovi) then you are looking at the right movie! i've seen pretty much EVERY movie he's ever been in and this by far is the best. some of the other reviews said the same thing,that if you think bon jovi is the greatest you won't be disappointed! here are a couple of reasons why this movie should be at the top of your bon jovi list: *scenes with his shirt off *he is the leading man *seduces the leading ladies *twisted ending if you need more reasons than those you'll just have to check it out for yourself.
