Title: A Modern Affair
Product review: This film is an entertaining romantic comedy--NOT to be confused with a chick flick. Although the central conflict revolves around the main character's desire to have a baby, the movie is really more about relationships and maturity. After Grace (Lisa Eichhorn) meets Peter (Stanley Tucci) under a staged pretense and a relationship begins to blossom, you know it's only a matter of time before the truth comes out. That suspense, although simple, is powerful and pays off in a very tense, realistic scene that Tucci makes his own. With a child's future at stake, you find yourself rooting for Grace and Peter--sometimes in alternation and sometimes simultaneously. This rhythm allows the comedy to come through over and over again as we witness the inevitable fallibility of earnest people. The light-hearted comedy against the backdrop of a serious, provocative conflict definitely makes this film worth seeing.
