I’ve not seen Meg Ryan in a movie for a fair while now although I think she was most recently in The Women starring alongside Eva Mendes, Debra Messing and Jada Pinkett Smith. It seems ages since the glory days when she was an A-Lister and quite possibly the biggest actress in Hollywood. Her latest movie is called Serious Moonlight and has been released on Yahoo today. It also stars Timothy Hutton, Justin Long, Kristen Bell and is directed by Cheryl Hines.
After she arrives at her country home for a romantic weekend getaway, things don’t go exactly as planned for high-powered Manhattan lawyer Louise. First, her husband of 13 years, Ian, tells her that he’s leaving her for a younger woman. Then, one thing leads to another, and pretty soon Ian finds himself held captive by an oddly cool Louise who explains that she won’t release him until he professes his love for her and commits to working on their marriage. And that’s when things REALLY start to go wrong. The unexpected arrival of an opportunistic young gardener and Ian’s impatient mistress only serve to complicate the crisis even further, while somehow forcing Louise and Ian to reckon with their past and realistically deal with their future.
The US can expect to see Serious Moonlight on their screens, 4th December. No UK release date as yet.
