Review of Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu (1997)
5/10
Deja vu? No, one viewing will be plenty for most and then some
16 December 2006
Dana is a young woman about to be married to Alex, her fiancé and business partner. On a trip to Isreal, a lady at the local cafe tells her a story about the love of her life. The older woman met him in Paris but never saw him again, despite his promises. She leaves a piece of jewelry behind. All of a sudden, Dana is in Paris, trying to track down the woman, then she hops to Dover, where she meets Sean. Sean is painting in the open air on top of, you guessed it, the white cliffs of Dover. They instantly fall in love but there are numerous complications, including the fact that Sean is married. But, given the lady in Israel's circumstances, should anything discourage Dana from following her heart and her man? This is a very strange movie. The basic plot outline is acceptable. But, the story and dialogue appear to have been made up on the spot! The whole thing zigzags worse than a bumblebee in a field of flowers and some pretty inane things come out of the characters' mouths. True love is a subject dear to everyone's heart but this movie takes an awful long time getting to the point. The actors are all fine and the settings nice. But, for most of the viewers across the globe, this will be a most boring movie. No need for a deja vu, one view, at most, will be sufficient.
