Picking Up the Pieces (2000)
Maria Cucinotta and David Schwimmer worked together, but that's all
Maria Grazia Cucinotta as the prostitute Desi and David Schwimmer as the priest Leo and their conflicted love story was the best thing in this movie. But unfortunately it's not enough. Woody Allen is boring and unfunny, and both Kiefer Sutherland and Cheech Marin had nothing to work with. The problem with this movie is the script, by Bill Wilson (XI). The persons in the movie doesn't work. He puts one-liners in some scenes where they don't make any sense and therefor makes the persons look silly. Actually the personality of everyone, besides Desi and Leo, are as deep as paper. The best part of the movie is the love story between Maria Grazia Cucinotta and David Schwimmer and it would be great to see a love story just between those two again with a well written script, because they looked great together. and they worked in the script until near the end, where the movie collapsed. But David Schwimmer and Maria Grazia Cucinotta saved this movie.
Jydekompagniet 3 (1989)
Actually funny
This is a sequel to a very funny movie called Jydekompagniet, but the only thing the two movies have in common is the two main characters. Jakob and Finn played by Jakob Haugaard and Finn Nørbygaard. The Story is that Finn is diagnosed as branded, and thereby being the first brain dead person who is able to walk, talk and solve crime. His crime fighting partner Jakob quickly sees the possibility for money and sells Finns heart to a semi-evil doctor. This movie is not as good written as the first Jydekompagniet but the jokes works. Where the first movie was a well written story this is more a bunch a sketches. The concept and story are silly and so is the acting, but it is funny too. The jokes works, and that is the main reason you would see a comedy. When you turn off the TV you will quickly forget the movie, but when it is on you'll have a good time.
