All about Love,marriage,babies, infidelities!
I finally got to see this one & even with all the
shortcomings i loved it coz it's such a wonderful feeling to see my favorites
Meryl Streep & Jack Nicholson coming together in this dryly wrought comedy
drama about a writer Rachel marrying a columnist cum womanizer Mark who is
unable to change his wandering ways even after marriage. The movie based on
Nora Ephron's semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, which was inspired
by her tempestuous second marriage to journalist Carl Bernstein & his
affair with Margaret Jay, unfolds quite hastily with one sequence after the
other almost with an Woody Allen approach to it.
Streep as the clinging, smothering spouse is endearing to
watch although a bit more of humor to her character would have added more to
the charm. Jack Nicholson does what he is best in doing , with his usual smirk,
devilish, eyebrow-twitching, grinning charm he is like-able as the philanderer.
I liked the scene when Rachel finds out about Mark's affair & confronts,
minutes later she packs up, leaves and we hear Carly Simon's song "Coming
Around Again" in the background. The lyrics perfectly fits the scenario in
sync with Rachel's despair. Her idea of the perfect marriage has been
shattered.
