Brilliant and touching

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The first must-see film of the year.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Just watching this film, What a joy to watch a film with a story that contains no violence or bad language . Its a film to watch again and again . The three actresses just added to the great story with a few great laughs thrown in . The scenes in the film are absolutely fantastic. It makes you want to go out and buy the first American convertible and head for Utah . Although you would expect the audience to be mainly females for this film, I as a male found the film very entertaining. I'm glad I turned to the particular channel that was showing the movie because its a great script and the characters are a great laugh.

Diane and i saw this little beauty at Paradiso two days ago and we were both enchanted by such a simple story told with feeling, understanding and truth: things rarely sen in contemporary Hollywood visual junk. True to form, the negative commentators enumerated all the "usual suspects": plot was "trite", acting was "wooden", nothing happened (read, no exploding cars, no bloody deaths, etc.--all the nonsense we have come to expect from contemporary Hollywood.) Bonneville was a soft film; a film that explored the inner sanctums of human existence with a quiet, deft touch, not the hammer that we normally expect to see from the masters of outrage. Life and its many introspective pathways can, really, be explored without full-body dissection and it can be extremely lovely to watch. We were captivated by the acting of the principals who gave the viewer a chance to deal with three distinct characters, something, again, not often seen because the scripts do not draw the characters clearly enough or the actors are not directed to explore the more subtle aspects of their actor's roles. Bonneville was the exception that proved the rule: the dialog, the exploration of particularly Lange's character, and the gentle exploration of personal mourning was a treat to watch. We congratulate all who contributed to this amazing, gentle story.

What a superb feel-good movie!! The acting was right on the characters. The scenery was perfect--and I never would have thought to set the movie in the locations that it was in...but it worked beautifully! But what impressed me the most was the writing...it made you think. Isn't that what a good movie should do? Interstingly, after watching Bonneville, I actually found myself reflecting on life--what is important...and what isn't. And I learned a bit more about taking that chance...doing what is in your gut and you're heart! I would love to say more, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. This is a 'must see' movie for everyone and makes my list of top movies! I will be seeing this one again.

Bonneville is a movie that is more like what Hollywood used to make for films. A movie with a real believable story and not all a bunch of digitized magic. Finally a movie where the actors can act like real people we can all relate to in our own lives. Lange,Bates and Allan did a wonderful job of portraying three Mormon friends rebelling against her step daughters wishes to fulfill her late husbands desires. A wonderful film with feeling and happiness. Should be more like this..Christopher Rowley did a wonderful job of directing this cast in a heart felt film. Drop of Water productions should go along way in the future.
