"Paperback Romance", as this film has been marketed in this country, is worth a look if only to watch two splendid performers at their best. Gia Carides and Anthony LaPaglia made this movie watchable since the plot is paper thin.
The film begins in a public library where Eddie overhears Sophie thinking aloud her erotic fantasies. Her voice alone, heard from the other side of the partition, has the quality of transporting anyone into the realm of Sophie's mind. Eddie falls for the enigmatic woman whose voice he can't forget.
We soon realize about Sophie's physical problems. One would think that given the condition of this young woman, she would stay away from Eddie, but she starts pursuing him until the moment when she has to tell him the truth. Will he reject her? Well, stay tuned. The end will not disappoint.
Ben Lewin working behind the camera and writing the screen play is helped tremendously by his two principal actors. Anthony LaPaglia will never give a false performance. Having seen him on the stage, as well as in films, one can only say this actor is amazing, no matter what he plays. The beautiful Gia Carides is excellent. She makes one care about Sophie.
This is a feel good movie with excellent actors.
