The Standard

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 1999)

Just like Eddie Van Halen, Wayne Gretzky, Micheal Jordan and Arnold Schwarz, this movie IS THE STANDARD for all romantic comedies about action and swordfighting that all movies in the category before and after will be judged against, and promptly given a back seat. This amazing tale full of one-liners, witt, character and action is entertaining to the end or "to the pain" shall I say. There isn't a movie in the world that has made me laugh, cry, mad, aroused, frightened, happy and all of the other emotions at one time. This movie makes you forget about the hardships and pain of the real world and gives you hope in the betterment of life. "Life is pain.. and anyone that tells you otherwise is selling something." They are trying to sell you something: this amazing film. Buy it today.
