FRIDAY FILM BEAT: The Face of Love

I will start off the first Film Beat for the month by saying I liked this movie, even though Robin Williams wasn't as funny in it as he was in the likes of Mork and Mindy or The Crazy Ones. I think what really killed it is casting Annette Bening as the widowed Nikki. They cast Robin Williams, so they could've cast Pam Dawber in it as well, then Nikki wouldn't have looked so ugly (no offence, Annette, but it's true - same goes for any film with Meryl Streep in it). Critical reception is on the fence, so go see it and make up your own minds as to whether Annette Bening was right for her role.
