To get in the Valentine spirit each shop was asked what their favorite love story movie is. Judi said "Pride and Prejudice. I have read the book and seen many movie versions, but I think my favorite part is in one of the most recent movies. Where at the end, Mr. Darcy and the new Mrs. Darcy are joking about what he should call her now, and she says, "Mrs. Darcy" with a big grin. Thus he seals the end of the movie with a kiss on her forehead and each cheek after saying, "Mrs. Darcy", and the rest is history."

Night 13 - A Life Less Ordinary

Tagline - A comedy for anyone who's ever been
               in danger...of falling in love.

Music selections from the movie on the jukebox -

1. Beyond The Sea - Bobby Darin
2. Don't Leave - Faithless
3. Always On My Mind - Elvis Presley


Directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Shallow Grave and 28 Days Later) and released on October 24, 1997 by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation (rated R). Robert (Ewan McGregor) is a cleaning man who takes his boss's daughter, Celine (Cameron Diaz), hostage after being fired and replaced by a robot. Two Angels are sent to earth to help bring the couple together. If they fail they are doomed to stay amongst the humans forever. Can they help these two fall in love?

This is one of my all time favorites! I remember seeing this movie on the new release wall at the video store. I had no idea who Ewan McGregor was but his picture on this movie and on the just released "Brassed Off" made me quite curious to find out who he was. So when the movies were finally checked in, little movies only ever had one copy, I grabbed them quick and proceeded to watch them right away.

I completely fell in love with this movie. It's funny, romantic, sweet and a bit of a fairy tale. If you just remember that Angels are in charge then all the things in the movie seem possible. And we get a song and dance number from Ewan. What more could I ask for? I always have to rewind this part and watch again before the movie can proceed.

If you haven't seen this one give it a try. It's something a bit different that just might win your heart.


Take a look at the original trailer...

Some trivia about the movie...

1. The author of the romantic novel read by Celine and O'Reilly is Jennifer Hodge. This is the name of the wife of writer John Hodge.
2. The gas station attendant is whistling the techno song that played over the previous scene (when Robert confronts Neville and kidnaps Celine).
3. Ian Holm and Maury Chaykin also co-starred in The Sweet Hereafter (1997), in both movies they had only one scene together.
4. Starting with issue 1063 publishing date 7-oct-1997, the UK comic 2000AD printed an eight-part, 48-page, drawn strip adaptation of the movie. Scripted by David Bishop and drawn by Steve Yeowell, it met with a mixed reception from readers.
5. Both Holly Hunter and Ewan McGregor play the French horn.
