Blueghost I never really understood these kinds of films. What we have here are a group of people attracted to one another, and going through the throws of success, sex and life in some kind of hapless social foray. One that really doesn't produce any kind of result. No happy endings here, and for all of the attempt at humor, there isn't too much that's funny here. In this sense it's sort of an old fashioned comedy; i.e. stuff that's not really funny to begin with, but is presented with a kind of humorous attitude. Beyond that, there isn't too much to be made of this film. Mariel Hemingway is gorgeous as ever, and Colin Firth attempts to save a struggling film with superior thesping. The others hold their own in the acting department. Camera angles are fairly plain. There's nothing really inspiring about this film. It promised to be a sex comedy, but doesn't do much for either promise.Watch at your own risk.
lisalafreniere1 Mike Binder (Mind of The Married Man) is such a clever writer, and his male perspective of relationships fascinates me. His writing is honest, funny, and ironic. I had to search for this movie on DVD, but the name was changed to FOURPLAY for release in the United States. I think that he really brought something different out in the performances of Mariel Hemingway and especially Colin Firth, as you get to see a different side of him in this film. I love England, and as such, it gives such great scenery and glimpses of different areas of the country and the way it is filmed, you almost feel as though you are walking right alongside them on the streets of London. This movie is very much like a play in that it centers around four main characters, only interspersed with a few other very funny characters. I love it, and if you enjoy any of the people associated with this film, I highly recommend it. It's an incredibly intelligent film, but very funny. I especially love the pub scenes with Colin Firth and Mike Binder....Good stuff!
Victor Bloom MD There's not much to it except for beautiful people (MarielHemingway) and a few funny situations. Not so funny is arepetitive theme of unprovoked violence, which was passed off asslapstick but proved more painful than funny.The one scene was the couple in the marriage counsellor's office,only the counsellor was a personnel counsellor and a haplesschap that was clearly over his head, especially when the lovely ladystraight-facedly asked the counsellor to ask her husband, whydoes he not like to kiss me between my legs like he used to. Aftera go-around like that, she asked the counsellor to ask herhusband why he doesn't want her to make love with him with hermouth anymore. "Ask him all the places where I do it." The park,the Metro... "THE METRO?"That's the funniest part about a half hour before the end. It's alldownhill after that.
darbyrom Londinium is full of quips and sarcasm. Though there is something unreasonable about the plotline, such as the protagonists' unstable financial condition vs. good purchasing power, the movie does a great job of jabbing at humans' desire and reticular relationships, and at the same time, uncovering the truth about love and marriage. Londinium makes the best of the features of a superb romantic comedy!
