Splendor (1999)

Crappy film

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Kathleen Robertson carries this movie with her physical beauty and acting charm. Many will rent this hard to find video to see if the lovely Miss Robertson will disrobe. Although she does a number of times in the movie, the audience only gets to see very little of the action. Overall, a nice little film about a 90's LA relationship ( more like a threesome) between 3 characters who slowly learn to become friends and then a family. A good independent film, but far from anything great for a teen comedy or a romantic comedy with sexual overtones. Robertson shows her acting talents throughout the film but overall teases the audience to believe that Splendor is one of those straight to video / cable movies where you get to see a certain actress naked for the same price that you would pay to rent a copy of Body of Evidence or Poison Ivy.

What a paradox, to call a movie "Splendor" and the movie to be nowhere near it! Amusing, indeed. Plotwise, it's - to a certain, unpredictable and even "unthought" of point - interesting, if we were to learn a lot about modern day mentalities and social patterns. Which we don't, not even in an evasive manner. So we have this young "lady", Veronica, who, one night, meets two "prince charming". Of course it's quite overwhelming, and our young damsel in distress, having been placed in a most ungrateful situation, is faced with a decision-making task. So many choices, so many options, what to do - one would wonder. Of course, it'd be great to have a taste of both (as Marque humourfully sings about, in one of his songs). Initially, Veronica dates the guys separately but later, after everyone involved meets everyone involved, the three become...well, two he's and a she. Rise and shine before thy sinks, as the motto goes (or doesn't).Veronica has a very clear character. She is a confused young girl, who acts on her instincts and sees later that the future isn't as easy as she initially thought. So then appears another guy, who can offer her all she wants...just that - darn! - she doesn't love him and so the ride goes on and on.It's too bad thoughts tend to go astray at certain moments. I mean, I've seen much better love movies with twisted plots! And, probably, so have you.

Well, I saw this movie for the first time last night. I was flipping channels and I noticed the the girl from 90210. It's funny I didn't like her on 90210, her prescence was kind of annoying. But, I thought the movie was good. Many people would think the plot was rather, hmmm... how should we say in flagrante delect, but I actually liked it. It sparked possible fantasies in my head. But, of course we all know in this day and age threesomes aren't a good idea. Overall I really enjoyed the movie. In the end I think she made the right decision

Loved the premise of the movie. Excellent use of soft lighting and lip gloss. The movie was very fantasy oriented and didn't pretend not to be as it hardly dipicts the average living conditions of a starving actress and her poor deviant twosome. If you haven't seen this movie, its worth watching. If you have I'm sure you have mixed reviews. Guys may dislike the "male kissing scene" but if you close your eyes and just moan in agony it soon passes. Its wasnt enough to scare me away from the movies plot which is important in any sappy romance movie that intends to keep its male audience.
