A Good Woman

I enjoy movies, and I enjoy writing reviews about them, too. So here we have one.

A Good Woman is a movie I got while perusing Netflix. I got it because it has Scarlet Johannsssennn in it, as well as Helen Hunt and Tom Wilkinson, however you spell those names. I can usually count on Scarlet J to put in a good performance. The only movie I wouldn't recommend with her in it is Match Point. Unredeemed. That's all I have to say about that.

A Good Woman is a good movie. We'll put it that way. I love Helen Hunt, even though her voice sounds like she is constantly about to sing in a falsetto voice. She was looking a little rough in this movie, too. Frown lines. She plays an infamous gold digger with an appetite for married men, and she apparently sets her sights on Scarlet J's husband. They are in a lovely little Italian seaside town where the bourgis (how do you spell Booo-zshwa?) folks enjoy their gossip, and when Helen Hunt shows up, the red lights go off like crazy.

The best part of this movie is Tom Wilkinson, a twice divorced rich man who falls in love with Helen Hunt BECAUSE she is completely honest and forthright about who she is and who she is not. His affection for her is lovely, and made me feel warm and fuzzy. That is what endeared me to this movie most of all. The Scarlet J part was second. There is an obvious twist in this movie, which you will see long before it is revealed, but it is sweet and complete, and will leave a warm-blooded girl sighing in her seat.
Guys, my husband watched this with me, while playing a video game on the computer. That means it was a movie he would not have picked, but would sit through and pay minor attention to, just to appease me. So there you have it. Go get it and watch it with your gf or wifey.
