Why on earth Meg Ryan?
The action is supposed to take place in England. Why are there so many American actors? Are there no more British actors left, who don't have to fake a sophisticated accent? I didn't mind Sam Neil. But why on earth Meg Ryan? Now granted, she is not awful, and she doesn't ruin the movie, but there are so many great blonde 30-something British and Irish actresses that I can think of right off the top of my head. Why did pick a romantic comedy icon? I guess, the movie was intended for American audiences. It had too many tear-jerking moments, not enough history and politics. It's a costume romance drama, not a true historical piece.
A great - but overlooked - movie.
I read some of these other reviews, and I have to tell you - what the heck???!!! We are just regular people, sharing our thoughts and opinions about a movie that someone else may be considering watching and/or buying - period. We all have the right to say what we think, but c'mon, some of these people think they are writing for the New York Times. Anyhow, "Restoration" is a well-made period drama with an excellent cast and crew doing a great job. If you are in the mood to sit back and enjoy a quality movie that actually stimulates parts of the brain not effected by a couple hours of machine guns and explosions, then this would be a good choice. This is not the kind of movie that you would normally invite "the guys" over to watch while you consume mass quantities of beer and other intoxicants. I have watched it several times - enjoying the story, the acting, and just the visuals alone can be appreciated for the authenticity, reminding me a little bit of Stanley Kubrick's stunning epic - "Barry Lyndon" - another movie often overlooked by the average viewing public. Having said all this, thanks for allowing me my opinion.
