Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHenry Moore (1898-1986) was a English sculptor who specialized in works featuring carved heads and abstract human forms, the latter often in a reclining position. As his career progressed, Moore favored very large works, many weighing upwards of 1,000 pounds, and received numerous commissions to create pieces for sculpture gardens and other public spaces. By the late-1940s his body of work was often the 'measuring stick' to which other sculptors compared their work. The statuette (likely a replica) that Tina owns is an actual piece that can be found in catalogs of Moore's work.

Featured review
Jake and Tina are living a lavish life in a top London Hotel, only they are living way beyond their means, their only asset, Tina's limited edition Henry Moore figurine. Its disappearance coincides with new maid Jenny, who took a shine to it.
I understand why it has a relatively low score, and I don't think anyone could argue it has a massive appeal, but it has a definite appeal.
It's a real fusion of styles, yes it's a drama, but it's a comedy, it's a romance, it definitely crosses the genres.
Jake and Tina are two very spoiled adult children, they have no respect for one another, no regard for one another, I don't even think they like eachother, you have to wonder how on Earth they got together.
Delightful performances from the leading stars, John Malkovich and a radiant Andie MacDowell are both terrific, she edges it for me, Bill Patterson and Joss Ackland are both quite wonderful.
Not quite an underrated gem, but definitely well worth seeing.
7/10.
