About two families on holiday
A very good comedy with a great actor called N.Kinski, who played in a very nice and funny way. It was her first role with glasses and she played the mother of two children, who want to make holiday in a flat. But the flat was rent by another family in the same time. So she was between her man the scientist and the other men, who rent the flat too. He was a cook, played by Timothy Dalton. The film was like "easy listening", just for fun but it understand one of the great forgotten themes in our culture: How nice it is to have a family!
very funny
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.
Great!
Well, when I first heard of this movie my first thought was that it looked like another stupid made for TV movie. But after I watched it, I loved it! The lines are actually funny, The lead characters have great chemistry, and it never gets after school special-ish. And I think the acting was good, and the lead guy's shirtless scene was fine-it just showed him as a regular guy, not some super model. Oh, and Kevin Zegers looked fine!
Cute but nothing special
This movie was a pain trying to find. I ordered a region free DVD player and got the DVD from Germany. I wanted to watch it because I adore Timothy Dalton. He gives a fine performance as a fun single dad, however his American accent is no good, never has been. Nastassja Kinski, who I have never heard of before this film, also gives a good performance as a more strict single mom.
The storyline is sort of a standard enemies-to-lovers story. Like I said in the title, it is nothing special. The kids are cute but their personalities I feel weren't very fleshed out. Daphne, (Who is Timothy Dalton's character's daughter) is supposed to be considered weird, but I don't feel like that was displayed enough on its own.
All in all, if you get a chance to watch it and are a Dalton fan, then I would say it's a cute enjoyable way to spend 87 minutes. Nothing groundbreaking, just a bit of fun. However, if you are not a fan of either of the actors, then I would not go out of your way to watch it, like I did.

Delightful Romantic Comedy
The divorced American chef Matthew "Matt" Farragher (Timothy Dalton) takes two week vacation to spend with his son Lewis (Billy Kay) and his daughter Daphne Farragher (Natalie Elizabeth Marston) in the Balboa Island, in Panama. The German researcher of the genetically modified vegetables Dr. Julia Weiland (Nastassja Kinski) is also taking vacation in Balboa with her sons Thomas (Kevin Zegers) and Max (Cameron Finley) and her boring fiancé Russell (Geoffrey Lower). Matt gives freedom to his children and has fun with them while the uptight Julia raises her sons with rigid discipline. While driving to the ferry to the island, Matt and Julia have an argument. Soon they learn that they both rented the same house by the sea due to a mistake of the real estate. Further, the hotels and island are completely booked and they need to share the house. However, along the days their initial animosity begins to change while their children get along with each other very well. But Russell wants to marry Julia and Matt's girlfriend Felice (Carlton Elizabeth Gebia) wants to go one step ahead in their relationship.
"Time Share" a.k.a. "Bitter Suite", is a delightful romantic comedy with many funny situations. The chemistry between the gorgeous Nastassja Kinski and the handsome Timothy Dalton is perfect and makes the film a perfect entertainment with well balanced comedy and romance. The teenagers and children have also great participation in the story and this film is indeed worthwhile watching even for the third time. My vote is seven.
