Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba star in Some Kind of Beautiful. A Tom Vaughn-directed drama/romance set in England and LA.

Some Kind of Beautiful is, unfortunately, not the most well-executed movie I’ve seen recently. Its ills include the dialogue, overall execution, particularly the lines delivered by Malcolm McDowell, and aspects of the story that just don’t make sense to me. Especially concerning the characters’ motivations or lack thereof.

I tuned in firstly because I was in the mood for an onscreen romance. Secondly, I wanted to watch a movie that wasn’t too demanding of my attention. Lastly I love Salma Hayek, a gifted actor and all round very smart woman.

There are things I did enjoy about Some Kind Of Beautiful and they include the soundtrack, the relationship between the sisters and the sunny LA location. I love to travel, you see. Even when I have to do it using mainly my imagination. 

Watch Some Kind of Beautiful, only if something about the movie strongly appeals to you. Or, if you really, really must.

Happy Film Loving,
