This love story is a crock — but a gorgeous one. Keanu Reeves stars as Paul Sutton, a GI home from World War II to find a cheating wife (Debra Messing) and a stranger, Victoria Aragon (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon), who asks a favor. She wants him to accompany her to her family's vineyards in California and pretend to be the father of the baby she is carrying. Her daddy (Giancarlo Giannini) suspects a hoax, but by then, Paul and Victoria are truly in love.

In heat as well. As harvest time approaches, it's not just the vines that are bursting. Mexican director Alfonso Arau aims for the magical realism and hothouse eroticism that made his Like Water for Chocolate such a sensation on the art-film circuit. Unfortunately, the clunky, overripe English dialogue makes you long for subtitles or, simply, silence. Anthony Quinn doesn't know when to quit as the family patriarch. Take this walk for the appetizing scenery, which includes Reeves and Sanchez-Gijon. The rest deserves squashing.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
