Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Congratulations to director Paul Weiland for taking a stupid premise and creating a truly romantic look at marriage. Mercedes Ruehl is dying of a weak heart, and her husband, Jean Reno, hopes to keep his promise to bury her in their tiny Italian village, despite a lack of room in the cemetery. While he is trying to keep his friends and neighbors out of the local bone yard, she is quietly seeking candidates for his next wife. Many movies treat marriage as a death sentence. For Roseanna looks past daily bickering to the enduring love and warm companionship of well-matched lovers. Clearly defined characters, a disarming dénouement, and passionate performances transform the silly plot into a playful valentine. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Jean reno at his best
This little movie is a jewel of a film. Jean Reno is at his absolute very
best as Marcello, a man driven by love to extreme measures. The rest of the cast is also superb. It is funny and bittersweet at the same time.
Everyone should see "For Roseanna" for a good video experience.
Rating: - Great Love Story
This is a little known movie, but definately worth watching. Romance, mystery and much comedy. Watch it you will love it.
Rating:  - A tender, funny film from a tought guy

The cemetery, however, is filling up, with only three spaces left. So Reno's task is to do ... Read More
Rating: - Nothing comes close
My wife and I first watched this movie about ten years ago and do not remember any other that made us laugh as much as this one. More recently, we enjoyed "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Sideways, but neither comes close to "For Roseanna", which I can only describe as perfect in every way. We have had it on a VHS cassette for some years and played it to many friends, all of whom, without one exception, enjoyed it tremendously. Now that the tape is wearing out, we have bought the DVD for more viewing. ... Read More
Rating: - For Roseanna
Great Movie! Even my husband thought this one was a keeper! Laughing one minute, teary eyed the next.
Nothing I write can relate as much as this simple statement:
For Roseanna - looks past daily bickering to the enduring love and warm companionship of well-matched lovers.
A must have movie!
