Time Share

"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...

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.

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!

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.

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.
