<font color = lightgreen>It's been a fairly busy movie season for <font color = red>Belle</font> and I thus far....

Ewan and Renee give excellent performances in their respective roles that both parody and pay homage to Rock Hudson and Doris Day. Not everyone will like this movie--I suggest it mostly for those who enjoy romantic comedies--but for those who enjoy this genre the movie is really good. True, some of the situations are a bit on the hokey side, but so were many of the movies from the very early 1960s.
David Allan Grier almost steals the show as Catcher Block's (McGregor) neurotic friend. [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

The split screen effect is give a new twist and is side-splittingly funny.

I'm not usually fashion-conscious, but I really wish my wardrobe looked like the clothes the men wore in this movie. Perhaps that look will come back into fashion at some point. Oh, well.

Overall, I give this one an 8 because it is really funny and Ewan and Renee have a really good screen chemistry together. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

A great date movie. I found it tolerable, and the wife loved it. I recommend it for funny cheesy date fun.
