I have to be completely honest with those of you who are reading this blog. First, I am a sucker for movies with sex scenes and lust, suspense, and movies based on books. But, never in my mind did I think I would get the high level of appreciation and significance out of a (non-box offive hit) film as I did with this one. Personal Effects which stars Ashton Kutcher, the brother of a dead twin who has been raped, murdered, and burned to death, Michele Phifer, widow of murdered alcoholic husband and deaf near sighted son, and Kathy Bates as the mother of Ashton Kutcher's character Walter. This film from the beginning is intact with rage and problems, but also with the twists of life and the heartache some have to go through.
22 year old Walter, who is a National Wrestler, has come home to tend to his mother and late twin sister's child. While during court he meets up with 42 year old Linda, Michele Phifer, who is also in court to see the murder of her husband's trial. While this seems like a typical movie it is not in anyway. Walter full of hatred and Linda downed by her son's actions, since the death of his father, somehow pull together and learn from each other and also fall in love. The movie takes a twisted turn as Walter's sister's co called killer is found innocent and released. This movie consists of many lessons such as the temptations of love, the healing of a loss, the sorrow life causes and the blessings we end up with. Having been a fan of Michele Phifer, I never really cared for Ashton Kutcher until this film. It really is wonderful; I have watched it like everynight for the past week.
GO RENT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
