A woman starts to fall in love with a successful college professor who had a baby with her younger sister.

Critics Consensus

Stranding Pierce Brosnan as a charmless cad, this tone-deaf romantic comedy is Some Kind Of something, but it definitely isn't beautiful.

Pierce Brosnan's recent career is not a thing of beauty. Yet again he has plumped for a mildly embarrassing, past-its-sell-by-date part.

1/5

One generation's silver fox is another's creepy old sex pest, and Pierce Brosnan doesn't have the comic chops, or even the facial expressions, to bridge the gap here.

2/5

We all like Brosnan and one is mortified to be ageist, but for this to have been even slightly romantic, funny or bearable the male lead -- and everyone else -- wanted to be much younger.

This film has no idea what it is meant to be. Lessons In Love would be an insult to storytelling if it managed to tell any kind of story.

Much like giving someone the same present for Christmas, Easter and their birthday, no matter how this rom-com is gift wrapped the resultant 99 minutes of your life will feel as hollow and wasted as receiving an empty box.

5/10

Regardless of the cliches or predictability, Some Kind of Beautiful is a fun, breezy, and upbeat offering that allows Brosnan the opportunity to put a shine on that charming accent of his.

I read the tough reviews, so I wasnt expecting a great deal, but it was a really delightful movie with a few giggles along the way. Pierce Brosnan is an excellent actor, and carries this movie, along with Salma Hayek. Dont write this movie off if you want a light, romantic comedy to enjoy.

Such a confused movie. Maybe the script was good originally or someone called in a bunch of favours to get these actors involved but the end result was not good at all.

My husband and I just saw this on Netflix and we both loved it so much. This was actually my second time to watch it-late last night. It brought me to tears again tonight. It got such horrible reviews I had to join up just so I could say what a wonderful romantic comedy this was. Such tender moments amidst what I view as very viable situations. My life is certainly a mess at times, I don't know what world these other reviewers were living in. Wonderful ending. I didn't find everything predictable at all.

Mildly entertaining Pierce Brosnan movie sees the ex-007 unexpectedly courting Selma Hayak and receiving a visit from his dying father (played by Malcolm McDowell!). Pierce has lost none of his suaveness and cool but is let down by a slightly inconsequential and predictable story. Still, it's reasonable fun.
