Definitely, Maybe and The Swimming Pool

Definitely don't. Since I saw the preview something like a dozen times, and since I like Reynolds, Weisz and Banks, I decided to give Definitely, Maybe a try. Bad idea. It gets points for getting the music of various parts of the 90's right (like "Unbelievable"), but it's a bore with nothing in particular to recommend it.

As to La Piscine (The Swimming Pool), well, it's better. But then how can watching a passionate Alain Delon and Romy Schneider hang around a pool near the Riviera in the 1960's not come with some pluses? On the whole it's not really all that interesting. But perhaps it's fitting for a slow, sunny summer afternoon.
