“Don't
think because I'm not saying much that I wouldn't like to say a lot.”
I hate when I movie starts off decently and then just
gets progressively boring. Great way to start a review right? Well,
unfortunately that was how The Girl in
the Café went for me.
I am not even going to write a summary. All you need to
know is are these points:
-
A man named Lawrence (Bill Nighy) and
woman named Gina (Kelly MacDonald) meet in a café when he sits down at her
table since the place is crowded.
-
They are extremely awkward people who
can barely look each other in the eye let alone speak comfortably with each other.
-
They meet for lunch some time later and
then start seeing each other for short amounts of time.
-
One night Lawrence asks her to go to
Iceland with him for a World Summit meeting his has to attend. Gina agrees to
go.
-
The whole time they are in Iceland their
situation is uncomfortable and boring and dull.
There you have it the very basic plot of the movie. if I were
to explain anymore and have to think about it I would fall asleep right now.
I was disappointed with the way The Girl in the Café turned out. Sometimes I like not knowing what
a movie is about because I may not have watched them based off their
description. I have to say The Girl in
the Café is one of those times I wish I had read what it was about. I
should have known I would be in trouble since it was written by the same person
who wrote Love Actually and I hate that movie so much. The only reason I watched
this movie was for Kelly MacDonald. I adore her. She was good but her character
and the material were boring. Same goes for Bill Nighy. The story and much of
the movie I could have found boring because my ADHD was kicked up immediately
with how slowly it was starting off. It had potential I thought it started off
decently with Lawrence and Gina meeting in a café. In this case I would not
have minded the typical shitty love story. The
Girl in the Café drags terribly for an hour and thirty minutes.
