Movie Description
LE DIVORCE, based on the novel by Diane Johnson, is a contemporary Merchant/Ivory production that explores the fundamental differences between Americans and the French, especially in matters of the heart and manners. Isabel (Kate Hudson) is a brash, outspoken Californian who travels to Paris to help her pregnant expatriate sister Roxeanne (Naomi Watts). Once there she finds that Roxeanne's cheating husband (Melvil Poupaud) has abandoned her for his sexy mistress. Determined to help Roxeanne, Isabel settles in and quickly succumbs to the charms of Paris, including its men. She embarks on her own affair with Edgar (Thierry Lhermitte), the married brother of Suzanne de Persand (Leslie Caron), Roxeanne's bourgeois mother-in-law, and falls into the stereotypical life of a French mistress, receiving expensive Hermés gifts, and undergoing a chic cultural makeover. However, Suzanne quickly learns of the affair and is enraged, claiming that Americans don't know how to have proper, temporary affairs. Upon the arrival of Isabel and Roxeanne's typically American parents (Stockard Channing and Sam Waterson), the cultural divide becomes deeper as the two families battle it out over love, marriage, infidelity, fortune and ultimately: divorce.

      The Worst Movie EVER
    Review created: 09/23/05
    6 of 12 people found this review helpful.

    My review of this movie is going to have to be as senseless and scattered as the movie itself.

    Kate Hudson goes to Paris to help out her pregnant sister (Naomi Watts), whose husband SUDDENLY leaves her without a word, on the day of Kate's arrival.

    Kate immediately falls into bed with some random guy for no apparent reason and then 5 minutes later begins an affair with a rich older man who gives her a $25,000 Hermes bag, again for no discernable reason. Somewhere in there she is being stalked/harassed/threatened with death by her sister's husband's lover's husband. K, wait, that was her sister's husband's lover's husband. No seriously, this movie still gets worse.

    The Naomi Watts character attempts suicide at about 8 months of pregnancy and upon waking up from near death begins giddily talking about baby names. The entire family comes to Paris ostensibly to console her because of the attempted suicide but ends up in a restaurant discussing prices of dishes and food allergies. Nobody ever mentions her BLEEDING WRISTS.

    In the final scene, Kate Hudson throws her $25,000 Crocodile Hermes bag over the Eiffel tower and it proceeds to fly through Paris on its own accord.

    Being drunk while watching this movie DOES NOT HELP. This is a VERY BAD MOVIE.
