Note de haroldf-30871
I thought the movie was cute and quite well done. Well written, well acted, well directed... all in a way that made me smile and enjoy the movie.
Until the ending.
If they were out to end it stupidly, they certainly met that goal.
In my thinking, romantic comedies do not require seriously happy endings. But this ending completely blindsided me. It felt quite incongruent with what came before it, and instead of making me smile, it came close to almost making me regret watching the movie.
And interestingly, if someone asked me right now what I thought about the movie, I'd tell them to skip it.

"Two Lovers" is a film that fails to live up to its potential. While it features an impressive cast and a promising premise, the execution falls short, resulting in a disappointing viewing experience.
The film follows Leonard, a troubled young man torn between two women - Michelle, the volatile daughter of a family friend, and Sandra, a sweet-natured woman chosen by his parents to be his bride. While the setup is intriguing, the characters are poorly developed, making it difficult for the audience to feel invested in their struggles.
Joaquin Phoenix's performance as Leonard is unconvincing, with his character's emotional turmoil coming across as contrived and unearned. Gwyneth Paltrow's Michelle is similarly one-dimensional, lacking the nuance and depth needed to make her a compelling love interest. Even Vinessa Shaw's Sandra, the most sympathetic of the three, is given little to work with, reduced to a caricature of a naive, innocent woman.
Furthermore, the film's pacing is sluggish, with long stretches of nothing happening interspersed with sudden bursts of melodrama. The script feels half-baked, with loose threads left dangling and unresolved plot points. By the time the movie reaches its unsatisfying conclusion, it's hard not to feel let down by the wasted potential.
Overall, "Two Lovers" is simply a waste of time. The ending is particularly disappointing, and casts the entire film in an uninspiring light. Definitely a "skip".

Wedding Crashers is a 2005 romantic comedy that follows the adventures of John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn), two divorce mediators who crash weddings to meet women. The movie's plot is predictable, but the actors' performances are top-notch.
The comedic timing and chemistry between Wilson and Vaughn are spot-on, and they play off each other's strengths brilliantly. The movie's funniest scenes come from their banter and zany antics.
However, the movie's biggest flaw is its lack of a satisfying conclusion. The final act feels rushed, and the resolution feels unearned. The movie's attempts to balance raunchy humor with genuine emotion also fall flat, making the film feel tonally inconsistent.
Overall, Wedding Crashers is an enjoyable comedy that delivers plenty of laughs, but its flaws prevent it from being a truly great film. Despite its shortcomings, it is worth watching for the chemistry between its two leads and ffor the many times where the humor is simply laugh-out-loud quality.
