Movie #1518 ........................"The Rewrite"

Movie #1518 "The Rewrite" --- must have missed this one the first time around, but not sure now that it was a necessity to see this one ---- If you have seen a half a dozen other Hugh Grant movies, then you probably saw one like this because he is playing the same kind of character.......despicable at first (in this one, he is a writer who is forced to buy food and other necessities, so he gets a teaching job (great idea!  you want a teacher that is just in it for the feeble amount of money that one earns doing that job!)  and right away beds down a student ----- then she, of course, ends up in her class after he dumps her ---- along with other students who would like to be writers some day ---- good luck with that with this teacher --- But through the course of the film, he charms his way into the hearts of the audience (perhaps) and of course Marissa Tomei (can't remember why) and the rest of the students (due to a big speech about being a better person because he had the opportunity to teach them, blah, blah, blah..... so I guess I'm saying this is a no bother ---- but Marissa Tomei makes some of the moments okay to watch, so I'll give it a weak 3 out of 5 stars.
