4 Film Favorites: New Line Romantic Comedies (The Adventures of Don Juan, The Bachelor, Bed of Roses, Laws of Attraction)



Depp, Slater, Brosnan and O'Donnell (a romantic 4-some)
NEW LINE CINEMA's colorful history includes releasing "Reefer Madness" in the late '60s, as well as several of John Waters' films. Their first big commercial success was the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. Since then, NEW LINE has distributed "Lord of the Rings," "Austin Powers" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Ted Turner purchased the company in 1994. It became a WARNER BROS. subsidiary in early 2008.

This "NEW LINE ROMANTIC COMEDY 4 Pack" is a mixture of good to middling films, with "Don Juan DeMarco" being the best of the lot.
Also recommended is ROMANTIC COMEDY: 4 FILM FAVORITES (another WARNER's product), which offers a similar mix of mid '90s movies.

THE BACHELOR-- In order to inherit a fortune, a marriage-phobic man must take a bride before his 30th birthday. Remake of a stageplay first brought to the screen in 1925 ("Seven Chances," starring Buster...

4 Chick Flicks - 5 Stars for Johnny Depp
Three good chick flicks, but I give it 5 stars just for Johnny Depp's Don Juan DeMarco. My favorite Johnny Depp movie, and he has been in some really good movies! Great bargain!

A Bit Boring
I bought this mainly b/c it indicated a group of romance movies... Sorry to say that the content of each movie/film is boring & slow. It is definitely nothing like a film from a similar era: An Affair to Remember starring Cary Grant & Deborah Kerr.
