The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Love Affair (1994) ** 1/2 (out of 4)Mike Gambril (Warren Beatty) is a former NFL player who has a good life since his fiancé is rich. Terry McKay (Annette Bening) is also engaged to a successful man. Mike and Terry meet on a plane and over the next few days end up spending time together and falling in love. They plan to meet three months later but something happens.Does that plot sound familiar? If so then you've probably seen the 1939 version of LOVE AFFAIR or perhaps you've seen its remake AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER. If not then the year before this version you probably saw SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE. I remember seeing this version of LOVE AFFAIR when it was originally released and wondered why they decided to make the movie at that point. I'm sure they thought they were going to make some easy money but the film ended up being a bomb and has since been forgotten.FOr the most part this remake of LOVE AFFAIR is pretty much a great looking picture that obviously had a lot of talent involved with it and there's no doubt that it had a large sum of money. So what went wrong? The term all style and no substance certainly fits here because we've seen this story so many times before and there's just nothing new done with it. Sure, there are a few minor changes here and there but the structure of the story is the same and there's just no heart or soul here.It's really too bad that this film has so many flaws because the cast is terrific. Beatty pretty much plays a character like himself in real life and there were some fun jokes aimed at him. Bening, his wife in real life, is as charming as always and there's no question that the two have some nice chemistry. Then you've got Katharine Hepburn who came out of retirement for what would be her last theatrical film. The film soaks up and pays loving tribute to the legendary actress and her scenes are certainly magical.Outside of that, the film looks great and the cast is very good but there's just not much here. The ending lacks any real emotions. The way the two come together just wasn't all that believable or heartfelt. LOVE AFFAIR is the perfect example of a film that seemed to just throw a great cast together, throw a bunch of money at them and they expect it to turn out as planned. Well, it just didn't work out that way.

Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, are so much better than Deborah Kerr and Cary Grant. The love and sex appeal show on screen. But why they put Deborah Kerr with Cary Grant, I don't know. She was awful in that movie. But thank goodness for Warren and Annette, they revived it and did a fabulous job. There version is so much better. You can see the chemistry in their relationship. It is very enjoyable to watch and still cry at the end. Speaking of the end, their version is believable and see they really have emotion for each other. Course they are together in real life too, but they did a perfect job of acting. Loved it! and bought the movie too.

The 1932 "Love Affair" is one of the most beautiful, charming and brokenhearted love stories of the cinema industry. Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer have the perfect chemistry and it is impossible not fall in love for her.The 1957 "An Affair to Remember" is a remake frame by frame of the original movie and also more famous. Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr also have perfect chemistry and had been my favorite romance after "Casablanca" until the day I saw the 1932 "Love Affair".I was curious to see the 1994 version of "Love Affair" and I found it a weak remake maybe to satisfy the ego of Warren Beatty. The introduction is awful with annoying music score and edition. Mike Gambril is a detestable character and I do not see any reason for Terry falling in love with him. It is only good to see Ms. Katharine Hepburn in her last feature. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Segredos do Coração" ("Secrets of the Heart")

This version of Love Affair (made for the third time) is a film that suffers from a sluggish first half while trying to achieve its goal of having its main characters fall in love. To aide this goal, the characters played by Warren Beatty and Annette Bening take an excursion to a remote Pacific Ocean island to visit the Katharine Hepburn character, a plot point too transparent and contrived to truly be effective. Still, the film manages to redeem itself in the third act with subtle yet powerful drama. The acting is fine, particularly Annette Bening but both she and Warren Beatty shine in the final, heart-wrenching scene.
