Retelling of "Love Affair" or it's remake "An Affair To Remember" with a cleaning lady and a soccer player

[cgvsluis · 4/10 · 8 December 2020]

This is a retelling of the classic "Love Affair" which has been redone on numerous occasions "An Affair to Remember", "You've got mail" to mention a few. This involves a Russian mom who leaves her cheating husband with her son and while seeking a divorce gets a job on a ship where she works in the bar and a selfish egotistical soccer player who through the antics of his girlfriend and drunk self gets into a potentially career ending car accident...from which he runs away from his obligations on to this exclusive ship. There he meets our blond single mom and falls in love. Like in the original an accident occurs that prevent these two from meeting again...but thanks to a little persistence on our soccer players part a happy ending is had by all.

Sweet feel good film.

I wanted to love it but just couldn't.

[DreamVividly · 5/10 · 15 February 2020]

I'm a sucker for an epic love story but this was not one of them. It really appeared to be but just did not get deep enough for me. I really tried to give this a chance but it was just a bit too predictable & awkward. It had a lot of potential but it was just lacking in some areas and was a bit overdone in others. It was enjoyable but I just didn't get a strong sense of character or chemistry from either leads. The acting from the co-workers on the boat was very exaggerated compared to the tone of the rest of the film. For me it was very off balance in certain scenes. The cinematography was very beautiful, I did enjoy most of the scenery. All in all it was a good romantic movie but I doubt I will find myself watching it again.

Watching this movie during Coronavirus

[leukhina · 2/10 · 21 March 2020]

If there is a worst movie ever been made I never heard of it. Terrible acting , very poor screenplay, there is more connection between me and any dog on the street than this couple of people in "love"

Romantic garbage

[mihaisorinp · 2/10 · 30 May 2020]

This is a romantic comedy for people with retard. Don\t waste your time and do not believe any high star reviews ( they are from the friends of the crew members or crew members themselves ).

Predictable

[fmwongmd · 3/10 · 14 March 2020]

A predictable story and unimaginative characters leave little for the audience to enjoy.

Went in with low expectations...ending up loving this film!

[libreechange · 9/10 · 10 August 2019]

Although unabashedly borrowing from "An Affair To Remember", this story kept me enthralled the whole way through. It's a warm and simple love story. Wait, I stand corrected. "Simple" doesn't sum it up. The gorgeous and authentic St. Petersburg locations and the cultural influences woven into each scene elevated the cinematography and the script out of the ordinary and into "surprising" film territory. If you are a true romantic with a travel bug, definitely watch this film!

Maybe a B film?

[frgth-27499 · 2/10 · 8 January 2023]

Very cliché and horrible acting. Absolutely atrociously written script.

Throughout the movie I kept hitting the forward button, it was just so bad and boring. It's extremely slow moving. The writing is the worst bit. The hospital part had me rolling! Hawk and kid are in the hospital. The napkin that Hawk had signed for Danny via Lana is found and we see just the worst writing and plot holes a movie can have. It was so bad I ended the movie before the ending. Let's also note that unless this amazing cruise that they are on is only going around the block, no ship is going to move if it only has five people aboard besides staff lol Not worth watching unless you want to cringe the whole time.

Let Us See You Soon

[jdianahall · 9/10 · 27 September 2020]

Let a woman tell a woman's story without car chases, uber-masculinity and foul language. Let an action star play a troubled, conflicted and sensitive person. Let there be exotic locations and foreign languages. Let the rest of us see a film like this without bashing it into pieces. I enjoyed the acting and emotionality of each character. I enjoyed the scenery. I enjoyed the kids. We need films like this where actors can demonstrate the range of human experience. So let them be!

Steamy love story

[creativeweddingmom · 10/10 · 19 February 2021]

I had never seen this movie before but it kept my attention beginning to end and then even wanting more. I guess the beautiful island hotel reminded me of our special honeymoon place in Jamaica long ago and brought back many memories. Thanks for the memories !!!

A Surprisingly Heart-Deep Film You'll Enjoy

[clementinashops · 10/10 · 3 January 2020]

The storyline of bad-boy playboy redeemed by the integrous, humble beauty is common because we appreciate stories of redemption. They make us feel redemption is possible for us; they make us hopeful, so it's no wonder we're drawn to them. While most of these archetypical storylines are predictable--even scene by scene sometimes--this one is less so. It echos An Affair to Remember (1957 Cary Grant &1994 Warren Beatty), but its unique "backdrop," the world of Major League Soccer (MLS), allows this film to stand on its own. Redemptive stories about professional soccer players are fewer than cliched football/baseball/basketball storylines, lending freshness to this film. We get our happily-ever after, but the climax is more complex than expected, which is emotionally engaging. Ryan and Lana must work at reuniting, but what keeps them apart is understandable and thus, forgivable. Liam McIntyre's "broken playboy" is effective because he portrays the pre-injury, big-headed jerk with embarrassingly cringe-worthy hubris, making his brokenness after the "fall" realistic. The arrogant playboy gets the sudden, overwhelming "fall" he needs to arrive at the clarity and perspective that makes living and striving truly satisfying and rich. At first, chemistry between McIntyre and Jenia Tenaeva, who plays Lana, feels uncertain, but once Tenaeva's Lana opens her heart to Ryan, their chemistry is beautiful--enough to make their reunification feel authentic and cheer-worthy. Whether or not romantic films are your go-to, this one will capture and delight you in fresh ways.

Excellent

[savanahpowell · 10/10 · 7 August 2019]

This movie was excellent! And wrongfully rated R. Was a very tasteful love story.

Wasn't sure what to expect - LOVED IT SO MUCH!

[kdr-02121 · 10/10 · 13 July 2021]

Loved the plot line, beautiful scenery,. Just wish these movies would go a little further, show us what happens after the couple gets together. Like a baby, where they lived, did they get married..

Either way this is a nice, heartwarming love story!

What a wonderful story

[laramia-garcia · 9/10 · 12 August 2019]

I really enjoyed watching this movie. I got to journey with the characters as if I was there experiencing everything with them.

MIKE CESTARI and JENIA TANAEVA created a wonderful tale that was, just like what kim-lynn-mclean said, inspired by LOVE AFFAIR/AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, with a twist. It stars one of the writers, Jenia Tanaeva, as the very gorgeous photographer/bartender/chamber maid, Lana, opposite LIAM MCINTYRE as the soccer great, Ryan Hawkes. There were love scenes, yes, but everything was done in good taste. They also have great chemistry.

Also in this story is HARVEY KEITEL as Billy, Ryan's manager, and probably best friend.

PETER TERESCHENKO stars as Danny, a young boy who idolizes Ryan Hawkes. He is Lana's greatest treasure, and only child.

LARISA MALEVANNAYA stars as Grandma Marina. She is very convincing as the no-nonsense Babushka of Lana and Prababushka of Danny.

OLEG TAKAROV plays Ruslan, the philandering husband of Lana, and because of him, Lana is a battered wife. In fairness to him, he tries to be a good father to Danny.

POPPY DRAYTON plays Elise, the fiancee of Ryan, who is only after fame and glory. It was her fault why she and Ryan had an accident, but if it wasn't for that accident, Ryan wouldn't have met Lana.

CARLA ABRUZZO plays Amanda, the jealous coworker of Lana in the cruise ship. She is also one of her roommates.

MARIE ELISE CONTE plays Angela, one of Lana's roomies, who turned out to be her good friend.

DOINA TEODORU plays Sabine from Haiti, also one of Lana's roomies who became one of her good friends.

and MARIANA SMIRNOVA plays Alina, Danny's "girlfriend"

DAVID MAHMOUDIE's name is new to me, but he is very good. I like his style as a Director.

Kudos to EVERYONE involved in this film in any capacity onscreen and behind the scenes.

Loved this love story!

[lswmom · 9/10 · 18 January 2020]

I'm a big,big fan of this movie. I'm a long time sucker for romantic love stories and this one was a keeper for me. Perfectly cast from top to bottom with a unique telling of a "Hallmark" type love story The chemistry with the actors was spot on and the movie seemed to flow so easily with it's great direction and cinematography along with a soundtrack that enhanced. Part of it's charm were the many outdoor and indoor scene settings so kudos to the locations director.. Loved, loved,loved, many of the scene locations -from the stadium shots to the city landmarks and landscapes to the interiors.I especially enjoyed the cruise ship and excursion settings including the hotels and mostly the beach side restaurant, That restaurant scene was quite lovely but the topper for me was the several scenes shot around St. Petersburg, Russia. They were all well set up and so beautifully shot that it made me want to go there! So a combination love story and travel guide all in one movie. Big thumbs up!

Romantic

[sergeslevin · 9/10 · 13 July 2021]

Watched it on Amazon and though it was well put together as far as production value. The storyline is very romantic and well thought through. Loved the female lead!

whoa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[apj-15748 · 10/10 · 21 April 2020]

Very good movie. I enjoyed every minute. I found the characters very likable. The story made a lot of sense and I thought that she should not have been fired from her job. Love is love even on a cruise ship.

Different but Heartwarming, Faith-Building and Lovely

[skpn123 · 10/10 · 18 September 2019]

Aside from the gorgeous story full of heartfelt love, warmth, redemption and a more than a sprinkle of fairy dust for all the romantics watching it this film is packed full of stunning cinematography, beautiful scenes both on the cruise ports and in St Petersberg.

Have no idea why it would be rated R..... very modest and no violence.....

Just adored this film......

Skeptical at first but l definately loved this film !!

[johnsbear · 9/10 · 7 August 2021]

The story line kept you waiting even though you sort of knew the outcome. Great acting by both leads !! The male lead has 40 credits and i This is the only credit for the female lead and I intend on watching other movies he is in. Unfortunately this is the only credit for the female lead. At first I was skeptical but her performance was excellent. Hope to see more her and her writing. The filming and locations were spot on.

Mix of Pretty Woman and Sleepless in Seattle

[tgdx · 10/10 · 19 January 2021]

This is a romance movie you can't miss. Starts out as a Pretty Woman movie and ends with Sleepless in Seattle. Classical storylines. Movie is clean and is able to be viewed by younger viewers. No nudity.

Great Movie

[januszlvii · 10/10 · 14 December 2022]

See You Soon is a great movie, it is a 10 like a number of posters claimed. (I wonder of they actually saw it because of a lack of detail about the film (one person actually posts did they marry and about babies? Spoilers ahead: The movie clearly shows Lana pregnant and with a wedding ring on)). The story is about Russian Lana an abused woman at the hands of her recently divorced husband with a son named Danny and Ryan Hawkes an American soccer player who abuses himself because of drinking after a car crash, where he did not know if he would ever play soccer again. This is of course a "Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back" movie. The conflict happens is when Danny gets injured and may never walk again and she must go back to Russia for him. Ryan misses her and goes to St Petersburg Russia looking for her. He wants to find and be with Lana so much, he is going to play soccer in Russia. The coach announces they are going to see sick children in the hospital. While there a nurse said there is a boy who who is a fan of Ryan's, so he stops by to see the kid. As he is leaving he is going to autograph a soccer ball, but below that he sees an autograph he signed for Danny and gave to Lana, and realized just who Danny is. He asks Danny where is she? He tells Ryan she might be on the bridge, and Ryan runs to the bridge and before it closes, jumps the bridge to be reunited with Lana ( my favorite scene). The next scene is at the World Cup and Ryan is playing for Team USA. Lana ( pregnant with her wedding ring and wearing a Hawkes shirt), Danny ( he can walk again), and her mom are all there: Ryan gets a goal to put USA ahead and at the end blows a kiss to Lana and you see how happy she is as the film ends. Is the film perfect? No it is not. But it is very good and better then most films made today. Ordinarily I would give it 8/10 stars but because the movie showed the faith that Lana and her mom have ( especially Lana in Church), the filming on location in St Petersburg, Russia and the character growth in Ryan, I am adding 2 extra stars. 10/10 stars. Again a great movie.

Heartwarming

[carolrogers-34958 · 9/10 · 29 January 2022]

This is a great movie that is definitely much better than it's rating. It has it all, sports, love, tragedy, and faith in something much bigger. I would watch it again!

Profound film - about the Love between Russia and America

[Dr_Mark_ODoherty · 10/10 · 22 August 2023]

A very soft-hearted and warm story between a Russian mother and an American soccer star - as well as the profound Love between a Russian Mother, and the Love for her son.

The story is a also a bit symbolic of today's times - namely that Peace and Harmony between Russia and America will be restored.

There may be some bullies and scoundrels in Russia - who are preventing the younger generation from realizing their full potential and living a life of liberty and freedom - but ultimately the Love between Mother Russia and her Children will prevail :)

In particular cultural and economic relations between Russia and America will be restored - as the bond of Love and Friendship between Russia and America will prevail - as indicated in this fine Film, where there is a lot of lovin' between Russian and American folks :)

The story also symbolizes very much the Christian belief, that the purest form of Love, is the Love that a mother has for her child. However, true love can also flourish between a Russian mother and an American soccer star - as indicated in this fine film :)

PS: At the end of the day, all mothers want to protect their sons. And all mothers are devastated when their sons die in war - both in Ukraine and Russia. Hence Peace must be restored in the International Community. Period.
