May Maria Disappearing Acts for me was the best movie i have ever seen and trust me it is. My problem with love movies most of the time is the fact that they are often and most times too fictional, but Disappearing Acts was far from that.This movie delivers in all aspect of the word. Its about a young women Zora who movies into an apartment where she meets Franklin a man who was working on her floor lol. At first i thought that these two as a couple would not work out but as the movie progress you get that sense of connection between them remember opposites do attract, and its this difference between them that makes them coming together more special and romantic. I don't want to give too much away but let me say this! i truly love it when a movie provides wonderful sex scenes and trust me Disappearing Acts gives you just that.The love scene especially the last on was amazing i could not stop my body from trembling it was that good and so real. I've got to give props to Sanaa and Wesley for their wonderful performance and for being so real, they made these scene so real and i loved that. all in all this movie comes together perfectly, expect a few laughter, tears and a lot of love a movie worth seeing.
jerriannc2005 When I first saw this movie on cable(not sure which channel) I taped it. I believe the title was Couple au defi. As a month or so went by, I didn't see it listed under that name anymore, then I happened to see the name Disappearing Acts, checked it out and was shocked to find that it was the same movie I thought was of a different name. Does anyone know anything about this? Perhaps it was the name of the book? Also, I posted earlier a question about the song Zora sang in the studio. I would love to know the name of it, who actually sings it and where to find it. Don't want much do I? If anyone can help with any of my questions I'd be very grateful. I really did like this movie and just to watch Wesley do anything is good enough for this white girl! Thanx, Jerri
camraman It's not often you can sit and watch a movie that deals with real life situations and the writer and director present the script to the viewer in a believable fashion. But this movie was well done and a well thought out script. Wesley and Sanaa played off each other's character well. The background songs for various scenes were "on the money." I even found myself shouting, "Don't do it!" to Frankie (Wesley) in the most critical moment during the hammer smashing scene. I know, it's just a movie. But I love it when the creators of a movie can get me and my emotions involved. It's then when I feel they've created an excellent movie.I'm glad that the characters, Franklin and Zora (Sanaa) were allowed to be real. Both had dreams and desires. Both had obstacles to overcome. Trying to obtain those goals while maintaining a new relationship, we found, can be difficult.It received a resounding 10 from me. I definitely recommend this movie.
colcam Very well written, cleanly told, the story of relationships in the year 2000 reveals that things really have not changed radically, but instead have only evolved slightly. Centering on a relationship that is nominally black, it could have been refitted as any ethnic group without changing it in any vital way. Snipes proves he is a great actor, Sanaa Lathan shows that she has tuned and toned her skills during the last five years and is ready to join the ranks of the "name" actors, and the supporting cast behaves almost flawlessly.
