Can contemporary romance be this flat?
A simple, and great, love story that avoids unnecessary moral or ethical pamphlets. [Full review in Spanish]
It was either this or watch paint dry
A delicately crafted and richly acted drama about a form of romantic love characterized by infatuation.
Audience Reviews for Falling in Love
An American retelling of "Brief encounter". All clichés in place, the romance works mainly because it is written and played out with maturity and sensibility, which allows the viewer to care about the chain of events that lead the characters to bond and ultimately love each other, no matter if most of these occurrences are a bit corny or unrealistic.

Okay movie. I had not seen this before. I guess for me the main problem was the two main characters were both married to other people and both mature and frumpy enough to know better. He's a construction worker dad of two and she's a housewife who is not working as she needs to be available for her ailing father. Neither of their spouses are awful or treat them badly, where you could even understand why they might stray. Both spouses are also unremarkable, dull, just like our two leads. I didn't buy the connection between the two at all. Not to say the acting is bad, it's not at all, they just don't make a convincing pair. This just feels very based towards a late 30's up market, but I'm now there myself and also married "forever" and I can't even relate to the pair of them. I can't see either what was so bad in their current partners, or what was so great about the pair of them. Okay tv viewing, but definitely Meryl has done better.

A simple romantic story, but somehow it touches you deep, maybe it had to do with the powerful performance of its actors. Would have liked the movie even better with a sad ending, though. It looked like it was on the cards. I was very surprised to see how easily De-Niro portrayed the role of a simple common man. Never imagined a scene involving De-Niro, asking hopefully to his friend "Do you think I am good-looking?".
