    Have Your Cake and Eat it Too

    Some of the reviewers here obviously have never heard of, or read a book of, historical fiction. This movie did not begin with "True Story". Hence why expect it to be? Indeed, if a film about historical events was 100% accurate it would be so boring we'd then complain about that.

    Gretchen Mol did a superb job as usual. I first saw her in "Forever Mine". If she gets the right part she always delivers. The part of the young man was also well done. It is difficult to give much info without spoiling the plot. It has drama, romance and tragedy. All well done; the components of good movies. So watch it for yourself. And don't try to make historical comparisons as you do. That's not what this movie is about.

    Most of the bad reviews here come from those who did not see the typical Hollywood template film they expected. There are no Quentin Tarantino type influences here. It's not the typical American type template that has won the US only 5 Palm D Ors in drama at Cannes in the last 25 years even though we've put out tens of thousands of films! Yes if you expect the usual steamy sex, filthy talk, things blowing up, chase scenes, gun battles and bloody gore-filled murder scenes you will be disappointed.

    Sadly, there are few American made movies worth the time or expense at a cinema these days but this is one of them. You get to have your cake and eat it too.

    Unconvincing and unrealistic.

    Apart from how boring this was, it was also historically inaccurate (apart from Kennedy's assassination), but even still, setting this during that time frame is somewhat distracting.

    The main plot is generic, recycled and unrealistic to say the least. What are the chances of this kid actually coming across all the events that happen in this story? Not bloody likely.

    Still, though, there were a couple good scenes (the ending was surprisingly good), but just not enough to save a mediocre film. Mediocre, but watchable at least. I'd be more willing to give this a three and a half, but unfortunately I have to pick either three or four here on IMDb...so I'm leaning more towards a three.

    Good sleeper film

    Adam is a 13 year old boy who has just discovered his sexuality. He is not so popular at school and takes a few beatings, but he at least has a prospective girlfriend; that is, until one night while perusing a Playboy magazine in his room he sees the real thing from his window, a beautiful woman semi-naked, right across the street. From that point, Adam is obsessed with this woman, Catherine. Most women would have sent him on his way for his own good, but Catherine is confused and conflicted, and she is a painter, a bohemian artist who is just ending an affair with JFK, and her ex-husband works for the CIA. She is flattered by his interest and boldness, and soon begins to really care about him. The JFK/CIA angle in this film is the weakest part of this movie; it just seems too far fetched. This film would have been just fine without that subplot. The interaction between an older woman who is trying to find herself, and the infatuation of a young boy with her made for some real interest. The ending of this movie is very touching.

    bad mixture

    A teenage boy is fascinated with mature woman, and this mature woman is fascinated by president Kennedy, and authors are fascinated with CIA. Directorial approach is rather conventional. The use of archival footage is substitution for serious dealing with the spirit of 1960s. The acting of Gretchen Mol and the music composed by Dustin O'Halloran are beyond the average. The plot is dull, it's a bad mixture of "Malèna" and "Emil and the Detectives". In fact, at the end we don't know much about characters. It's a shame, because the real life of Mary Pinchot Meyer is very inspiring. Reading books about her seem much more interesting than watching this movie.

    Other than to see a rather nude Gretchen Mol the movie is pointless

    (2009) An American Affair DRAMA/ INTRIGUE

    Co-produced and directed by William Olsson, that has Cameron Bright starring as a precocious 13 year old boy who often witnesses the doings of his floozy/scandalous female neighbor played by Gretchen Mol as she plays Catherine, and her role during the assassination of JFK etc... This is nothing more than a pure 'what if' film coming from the point-of-view of a 13 year old, which the film indicates that their might've been more than what people know about the assassination of JFK- which is pure horse crap. And some of the movie was just an excuse to get Mol naked!

      The plot of this film bears some resemblances to the story of Mary Pinchot Meyer, a Georgetown socialite and artist who was murdered on October 12, 1964. In life, Mrs. Meyer was the ex-wife of the head of the CIA and had been having an affair with President John F. Kennedy.

      Catherine Caswell: It's all a game of chess isn't it? Playing out the pawns in your head. Should I sacrifice the rook or the king? Will you sacrifice me?
