Time Share

I would recommend this movie for any fans of romantic comedy. It is very light hearted, funny, and the characters are quite likable. Timothy Dalton and Nastassja Kinski make a good combination. The children were not the dysfunctional type we so often see in movies. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I would really like to have this Timothy Dalton comedy on DVD. Fun, family vacation setting with two families wanting to vacation in the same location. That's when the fun begins. The house turns out to be double rented. One family is easy-going while the other is painfully straight-laced. The kids learn from each other while helping their parents see that they should be together even though they think differently. What can I say but opposites attract. This film has such witty dialogue and plays up the confusion. Timothy is superb in the cooking scene. He just plays that scene for all it's worth. I was delighted with the dance scene in the club house too. This is truly a great family comedy.

"Bitter Suite"/"Time Share" (if only the movie could have changed with the title) is a painfully lame German-produced TV movie that is far below its two stars (it says a lot about the current career of Nastassja Kinski that she's credited as a co-producer). The setup is out of a thousand dozen sitcoms - families put together by mistake, neither one getting along with the other at first but... cue lots of arguments, gooey sentiment, and a kids-in-peril-at-sea segment so unconvincing it makes "Jaws 3-D" seem tense.

Timothy Dalton's accent really irritates, but neither he nor Miss Kinski (who manages to not seem humiliated, and who's still a beauty in her 40s) are at fault - it would have been even worse without them. The only consolation is that some of today's far less talented bright young things may wind up in the same predicament one day - it's sad that, like Rosanna Arquette, Nastassja's wasting away in bad TV movies. Then again, you can't come back without something to come back from...

This movie really isn't so bad! It has a rather pronounced "made for TV" sheen to it, but be that as it may, it is still a fun little romp in the sand.

Nastassja Kinski is remarkably likable as the lead female protagonist, and I marvel at her lack of German accent for someone born and raised in Germany. Timothy Dalton is charming as the slightly irrascible male protagonist unexpectedly forced to share his "time share" beach house with that other family. Geoffrey Lower is delightfully nerdish as the... well, nerdish beau/bio-engineer. And the various kids in the film are all very appealing.

All in all a pleasant, wholesome, fun-filled film, reasonably good family viewing (hey, I did afterall see this on the Family Channel, which is precisely where it belongs). And it was nice to see this film, as I did, around the end of winter: those summery beach scenes shot in and around Malibu, California will really have you dreaming about fine summer days and endless beach walking...

oh I thought it was great it had a unique style of love,war,and comedy plus Kevin Zegers is so HOT!!!!!!!(by:Kayla) of course it was a very cool movie even though it wasn't very bad either it just showed how single parents take care of their kids thats about it and how the woman is engaged to another man love can always follow you places.
