Review of Strange Relations

FANTASTICALLY funny, poignant and so very human. Every scene rang true with great acting and rich characters that were flawed but so lovable! I liked Paul Reiser on Mad about You, but in this movie I found him to be more cute and SEXY. His interaction with every other actor in this movie was respectful and warm. Julie Walters was as incredible as she is in every role, but the her scenes with Reiser were magical and brought tears throughout, and I normally don't do that unless it's an animal movie. You can just feel the love as he starts to bond with and care for the insufferable family he never knew he had! His love scenes with the sister in law are passionate, vulnerable and tender. He is truly the leading man in this movie, more so than any movie I have ever seen him in, this part seems to have been written for him. The "twist" at the end is truly unexpected and makes the story even more touching. This film was a delight to watch, from start to finish, and I have whole heartedly added it to my "top 20" favorites of all time!
