Keanu Reeves is completely wooden in this romantic misfire by Alfonso Arau (Like Water for Chocolate). Reeves plays a World War II vet who hits the road as a traveling salesman and agrees to help a desperate, pregnant woman (Aitana Sanchez-Gijon)--who is afraid to let her father (Giancarlo Giannini) see her condition--by pretending to be her husband. Most of the story takes place in the old man's vineyard, and Arau makes a life of swollen fruit, grape-stomping, sunlight, and tan flesh that looks amazingly erotic. But there are plenty of sillier distractions, such as the sight of farm hands chasing insects with flapping gossamer wings attached to their arms. Reeves is terribly self-conscious, while stalwart Anthony Quinn is memorable as the damsel's benevolent grandfather. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - One of my favorite movies.

Rating:  - Did the Amazon reviewer actually watch the movie??
Yes, I agree that this isn't Keenu Reeves best performance. However, the Amazon reviewer's comment about the "silly insect chasing scene with gossamer wings" was just WRONG. What the scene is about is preventing the grapes from freezing by lighting braziers through the vineyard then spreading the heat. And I've seen this done in Germany, France, and Spain, so it is real.
I thought the interactions between the father, the grandfather and the daughter were amazingly done and the woman ... Read More
Rating: - Fine movie, not so good acting
Great scenery in the movie. The acting is not great, but the story flows, so you end up rooting for love and happiness after all.
Rating:  - Formulaic romance starring...Napa Valley
Alfonso Arau (Like Water For Chocolate)'s WWII romance A Walk in the Clouds, based on the 1942 Italian film Quattro passi fra le nuvole, explores the intertwined notions of destiny and true love amidst a sprawling vineyard. Paul Sutton (Keanu Reeves) returns home from the front to discover that the woman he married shortly before shipping out (a cameo by Debra Messing from Will & Grace - Season One) isn't the woman he wants to spend his life with; she couldn't handle the realities of war, so ...
