Garcia plays a lovable bum who makes his living by knowing how to work the city streets. MacDowell is good as the girlfriend who can no longer put up with his unstable ways. This was a good romantic comedy; an unusual story about the other half of the ticket industry.
This film was pure entertainment. It gave me a fine smile throughout the whole duration of the story. Fine en believable acting of two professional and charming actor's. One of the best scenes is undoubtfully the one in the kitchen preparing the "haute cuisine" and bringing it to the "guests" This is a refreshing view on it.
My wife and I enjoyed a film in which the characters were all interesting, as well as earning your involvement.The romance was real and very well done.Andie must have wanted to be in a good movie instead of the drek they usuall give her because she and garcia put themselves and their money in it
I love it. It just made me so happy watching it, and you can tell that Andy Garcia had a really good time making this by the way he acts.If I could make just one film in my life, this would be it, Richard Wenk can die a happy man (hopefully not for a very long time). I hope to see another one from these two guys. I know it is a long shot but I really feel that Andy should get an Oscar for this, this is his finest hour, this is so good and so true that you forget it is acting. The original screenplay also deserves and Oscar, it is thoughtful, funny and touching. What more do you want.If you want to see a good film, go rent or buy this, it is Just The Ticket.
