it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

"Love Is All You Need" tells a story of a woman who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. She comes home and find her husband frolicking with another woman, just days before she flies to Italy to attend her daughter's wedding. The plot sounds eventful already, and indeed the interpersonal relationships in this film is portrayed beautifully, in an engaging and meaningful manner. Almost every relationship portrayed has some sort of defects, because nothing in this world is perfect. As the film quotes, "You can never give or receive enough love". "Love Is All You Need" is a film to feel with your heart, and empathise with the characters' joy and pain. Maybe it's a film that you have to be in a certain mood to like, and I was certainly in that mood to be touched by it.

Danish Films and TV series generally have high production values that explore their characters psyche so this is what attracted me initially. I hesitated when I saw Pierce Brosnan. Nice on the eye but hardly a heavyweight actor. Don't be put off by this. He is actually quite good. Obviously he can't speak Danish but this is nicely woven into the plot by him being a foreigner who was married to a Dane....so he can understand Danish but won't speak it. If you don't like subtitles don't be put off by this either as about 50% of the film is in English. This film grows on you from the start and all the characters are strong and very well acted. There are nice bits of quirky Danish humour that will appeal to English speakers...and a few twists and turns. This is probably a "girly" movie but as a man I enjoyed it and there is a lot more to it than the usual superficiality of Hollywood "Chick Flicks". There are no "black and white" characters...everybody has issues and you learn to accept their issues...just as you would with real people.....and yeah I might just possibly have had slightly moist eyes towards the end.

Review: I enjoyed this emotional drama which is based around 2 characters who in up falling in love under the weirdest of circumstances. The film was really written and directed well by the main character in the movie. You can't help but feel for the 2 main characters, who were played well, and it was good to see another side to Pierce Brosnan, who was a weird but great choice for the film. There are many stories running parallel to the main story, which is what made the film a joy to watch. It has a mixture of subtitles and English, but it doesn't spoil the film. For a Danish low budget movie, I was surprised how the director was able to touch every emotion and I hope that the film gets what it's due. Enjoyable!Round-Up: I really didn't know what to expect from this movie and when I found out that it was Danish, I nearly took it off of my rental list, but I'm glad that I gave it a go because I really enjoyed it. It's not the type of movie that you will watch time and time again, but its really worth giving it a go. For a romantic comedy, there are some extremely deep subjects that people will find touching, but its all pieced together well. It's also worth watching just to see Pierce Brosnan at his best. Budget: 5.5million Worldwide Gross: $10millionI recommend this movie to people who like there emotional dramas about love and marriage. 6/10

. . . but not totally displeasing. It IS somewhat novel for the fated-to-be together father of the groom and mother of the bride to first meet in a parking ramp fender-bender. It is even more romantic that this results in the pair--a widower and a wife who's just discovered her husband doing "Thilde from accounting" on the family sofa while his spouse is battling cancer--needing to share a long, scenic drive to the wedding site. Though the script gets so cutesy with the status of bridal mom-hairdresser Ida's disease that I lost track midway through the movie (though it certainly appeared she was fairly intact when she climbed out of the Mediterranean "au naturel" in front of the widower), there are other plot developments to help gloss over this murkiness, such as a groom who discovers\finally admits that he is gay. While this flick makes one wish that every recovering cancer victim could have a wealthy man with his "own private Idaho" in the middle of a tropical island welcoming her with open arms, who said movies should be plausible?
