Some Miscasing

Rating: 6/10 (2 October 2005)

I really enjoyed the movie as I do most of the Richard Gere movies. But in this case, I thought Susan Serandon was wrong for the part. I would have liked to have seen someone else play that role because, compared to the other women in the show, she seemed colorless and uninteresting, especially for the leading man (Gere) to have been as much in love with her as he was supposed to be. Maybe someone softer and not as self assured as Sarandon came across. The dancing is great and I've always enjoyed a brassy blonde as appeared here. She really stole much of the show. The bald man (can't remember his name) is an incredible actor and really won my support. Of course, he's one of those actors whose name may escape us but whom we immediately recognize from other films and with whom, we immediately win our support.
