Editorial Review: Description: John Travolta (THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER, FACE/OFF) joins Sean Penn (UP THE VILLA, SWEET AND LOWDOWN), and Robin Wright Penn (MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE, HURLYBURLY) in this funny, hip, and emotionally supercharged movie about a woman whose passion for two totally opposite men sets up an outrageously explosive love triangle! Maureen (Robin Wright Penn) and first husband Eddie (Sean Penn) lived through some very wild times ... until an unforeseen crisis finally drove them apart. So when he walks back into her life after 10 years ... Maureen must choose between her love for husband number two (Travolta) ... and the electricity she shares with Eddie! With a superb cast delivering top performances -- SHE'S SO LOVELY is a motion picture knockout filled with vivid humor and riveting intensity! Amazon.com essential video: This film springs from a long-neglected script by the late John Cassavetes. The script was directed by his son Nick and stars Sean Penn, who was set to star before the elder Cassavetes died. Penn plays Eddie, an alcoholic ne'er-do-well who loves his young wife Maureen (Robin Wright Penn) too much. When she is brutalized by a neighbor, Eddie goes nuts--and lands in a mental hospital for 10 years. When he is freed, he finds Maureen remarried, to contractor Joey (John Travolta), with whom she has two children. But Eddie's love is too strong not to draw him back to her and make one final plea for her affection. A great showcase for all of the actors involved (the cast includes James Gandolfini, Harry Dean Stanton, and Gena Rowlands), with a particularly fine performance by Sean Penn. The film has the make-it-up-as-you-go feeling of John Cassavetes's work, as well as the kind of naked emotions that were his hallmark. --Marshall Fine Average Rating:
 Rating:  - IT'S ONLY ME, BUT:GREAT SHOWCASE FOR ROBIN WRIGHT. SHE IS EXCELLENT. SEAN PENN PLAYS CREEPY AND NUTSO TO A TEE. TRAVOLTA ONLY GETS A 7 OUT OF 10 ON THIS ONE. WRIGHT AND PENN OUT SHINE HIM IN THIS MOVIE. TRAVOLTA'S NORMAL (?) GUY TO WRIGHTS & PENN'S SOULMATE CRAZY'S DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE. Rating:  - Interesting is one word for itThere are enough reviews here to give a synopsis of this movie that I don't feel a need to give one. I'll just review the movie. The acting was really pulled off quite well. I laughed a little, I smiled some, I yelled at the screen quite a bit. The characters were well defined from meeting them instantly. Before the 10 years later, I was crossing my fingers hoping Mo's character would treat him right, so after the 10 year moment, I was a bit angry. Which is good, because that means ... Read More Rating: - Decent Homage to John Cassavetes"She's So Lovely" is based on a script by the legendary writer/director John Cassavetes and is directed by his son Nick Cassavetes, who has recently directed "The Notebook" and "Alpha Dog." I've never seen a film by John Cassavetes and I've read reviews that complain about the missing depth of characterization that is normally associated with his films. I can see that being a valid argument, but "She's So Lovely" is an interesting, powerful, and funny film with dynamite performances by all. Robin ... Read More Rating: - "Love is so difficult": a crazy couple's romance This movie is hopelessly out of step with the times - evoking one of the 60's European cinema's themes of questioning the bourgeoisie lifestyle. It's a fascinating, irrational celebration of passion, even if these feelings have destructive consequences and involve unquestionably insane, violent, socially dysfuntional behavior. Taking an unflinching look at urban bar-flies who live in a hotel worthy for crack addicts, the subversive film is emotionally messy, ambalivalent in its social values, theatrical ... Read More Rating: - Not Real but Really GoodFirst let me just say that all of you who only gave this movie 2 or 3 stars just because of the ending are a little silly. If you thought the movie was good but chose to dislike it because the character didn't do what you would have done in this situation are SILLY...its a MOVIE. This movie is rich in it's uniqness and characters. It's story of love gone completely blind..so blind that any thing goes. Even though none of us would take our emotions as far as the characters in this movie did,,its fun to imagine,, ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
