"PICCADILLY COWBOY"
Part of the fun of going to movies is signing on for a ride full of surprises or at least one or two.
Carson Wells, a returned missionary cowboy from Montana living in London, is set to marry a flighty, somewhat spoiled, pretty younger sister when, guess what, her intimidating grandfather who is also the cowboy's employer decrees that he must first find a suitor for the older, plainer but more likeable sister.
What do you think happens?
It's a sweet enough story and it's fun to see the London scenery with a guy in a cowboy hat marching along, especially if one's been to Great Britain.
But it hasn't been well researched or developed.
The love story is thin and it's hard to believe a guy so upset at his parent's lack of commitment to their marriage would trade in one fiancee for another with so little angst (oops, did the ending just get given away?).
It's also hard to believe the jaded grandfather would hand over a car to a newbie to drive up to Scotland for a visit to a company ranch. Anyone who's driven in Great Britain or tried to find an address in the country knows it's not that simple or safe.
The cowboy could also use a Western twang while the movie could use a good shake. Something to make it new and worth watching. Sharon Haddock
"BELIEVE"
Multilevel marketing can create millionaires, but for others the sales style drives a wedge between them and their friends and family.
The hot buttons of everything wrong with this way of marketing products are pushed in "Believe," a "mockudrama" about the industry.
