I bought this movie on E-Bay not knowing anything about it but being seduced by the title, the fact that Gerard Butler was in it, and the description from the video jacket. One More Kiss? A definite waste of money. The heroine was a royally selfish pain who left me cold with her plight: I kept wanting to smack her instead of empathize with her. James Cosmo and Gerry Butler in their roles were excellent. Perhaps the heroine was told to play the role as she did but if so, the director should have been shot. It would have helped a lot to those who are hard of hearing and those of us who are not too familiar with Scottish dialects to have had captioning. The only saving grace was looking at the scrumptious Gerard Butler.

Dear Frankie
(2004)
I loved this movie
3 November 2005
I learned of this excellent movie quite by accident--not in the theater but on EBay! (Why is it not being shown widely--if not at all--in the US?) My one criticism is the captioning provided for those of us who are hearing-impaired: what little captioning was provided hardly matched any of the spoken dialog and half of it was missing altogether. The young actor Jack McElhone was superb in his role: a nice kid without being a nerd. I purchased the home video recently and have watched it many times, enjoying it more each time. Gerard Butler has fast become a favorite of mine and I'm catching up on all his movies, this Dear Frankie the latest that I've watched. Mr. Butler is definitely showing his range of acting abilities--keep up the good work, Mr.Butler!
