Leading Man (1996) Reviews

Member Rating:

This light romantic comedy follows the amorous backstage shenanigans of the cast and crew as they prepare to stage "The Hit Man," noted playwright Felix Webb's latest play. The trouble begins when director Humphrey Beal hires Felix's extramarital lover Hilary Rule as his leading lady. Working in such close proximity does nothing to help an already tense relationship made more shaky by Hilary's insistence that Felix leave his insecure wife Elena. When Humphrey hires hot, young movie star Robin Grange to play opposite Hilary, matters really heat up, especially after the handsome and perceptive young stud offers to seduce Elena so that Felix can have grounds to dump her. Unfortunately for Felix, this dreamy solution soon turns to a nightmare when Robin proves too irresistible. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

This one is a keeper. One viewing is not enough. Strong performances, particularly on Bon Jovi and Thandie Newton's part. Surprisingly good story.

if you are a bon jovi fan this is a must see. otherwise i think the acting was decent and the plot was better than i expected. the only dissappointment is that Jon Bon Jovi had better chemistry with Thandie Newton than the woman he was supposed to fall in love with.
