Not since the release of "When Harry Met Sally" have I been so intrigued by the cast of Romantic Comedy and as subsequently pleased when viewing the released film on the big screen. ( I don't often go ROMCOMs in the theater; they work just as well on my home tv.)
The romantic triangle Cast of "She Came To Me" is led by Peter Dinkladge (as a creatively blocked operatic composer Steven Lauddem) his wife and his psychiatrist Anne Hathaway (as an obsessive compulsive Patricia Jessup-Lauddem) and the delightful Marisa Tomei at her deadpan comedic best as a Tug Boat Captain who falls for the damaged composer. It's right up there with "My Cousin Vinny" as a favorite performance -- even if her character is not as devastatingly funny.
Rebecca Miller both directed her own script and did an absolutely pitch perfect job at both. It's the seventh film she has helmed. It's a work worthy of Nora Ephron and reason enough for me to examine the six works that came before.
This film doesn't hit you over the head with obvious and cheap laughs. It could be considered a dark situational comedy. The characters reacting to family problems and people outside of their inner circle and beyond their sphere of influence.
There are some surprising plot twists and character revelations that explain and challenge each member of the romantic triangle. Anne Hathaway in particular has a brilliant scene with one of her patients and she literally closes the film with a beautific smile.
"She Came to Me" is a film not to be missed. I will be watching it again; soon.
