Professor Love: Directed by Tom Vaughan. With Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, Jessica Alba, Malcolm McDowell. A drama about a Cambridge poetry professor who begins to re-evaluate his life of Byronic excess.

“I believe Pierce Brosnan is perfect for the role he had in this film: a university English teacher that is both lecherous and intellectual, romantic and a total ass, a good father and a terrible partner, yet lovable and accessible nonetheless. Such a character has a fantastic potential to create a wonderful story.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHowever, the story was sub par, the other characters cardboard and so many opportunities were missed out again and again. If I were to rate this film on the characters, I would have to give an 8 or even 9 to Brosnanu0026#39;s, but something close to 3 for Jessica Albau0026#39;s. Salma Hayeku0026#39;s wasnu0026#39;t a lot better either and Malcolm McDowell, as the father, was 0-dimensional! I understand old actors get fewer jobs, but have you seen any of this guyu0026#39;s films? Canu0026#39;t you see how much better he could have been if given some good material?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBottom line: itu0026#39;s an American Britspoitation film, based entirely on Pierce Brosnanu0026#39;s charm, with a little bit of McDowell sprinkled in the cast to get old people like me interested. So much story potential and so many talented actors completely wasted by Hollywood accountants.”
