Crappy film

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The divorced American chef Matthew "Matt" Farragher (Timothy Dalton) takes two week vacation to spend with his son Lewis (Billy Kay) and his daughter Daphne Farragher (Natalie Elizabeth Marston) in the Balboa Island, in Panama. The German researcher of the genetically modified vegetables Dr. Julia Weiland (Nastassja Kinski) is also taking vacation in Balboa with her sons Thomas (Kevin Zegers) and Max (Cameron Finley) and her boring fiancé Russell (Geoffrey Lower). Matt gives freedom to his children and has fun with them while the uptight Julia raises her sons with rigid discipline. While driving to the ferry to the island, Matt and Julia have an argument. Soon they learn that they both rented the same house by the sea due to a mistake of the real estate. Further, the hotels and island are completely booked and they need to share the house. However, along the days their initial animosity begins to change while their children get along with each other very well. But Russell wants to marry Julia and Matt's girlfriend Felice (Carlton Elizabeth Gebia) wants to go one step ahead in their relationship."Time Share" a.k.a. "Bitter Suite", is a delightful romantic comedy with many funny situations. The chemistry between the gorgeous Nastassja Kinski and the handsome Timothy Dalton is perfect and makes the film a perfect entertainment with well balanced comedy and romance. The teenagers and children have also great participation in the story and this film is indeed worthwhile watching even for the third time. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Encontro às Avessas" ("Topsy Turvy Encounter")

A very good comedy with a great actor called N.Kinski, who played in a very nice and funny way. It was her first role with glasses and she played the mother of two children, who want to make holiday in a flat. But the flat was rent by another family in the same time. So she was between her man the scientist and the other men, who rent the flat too. He was a cook, played by Timothy Dalton. The film was like "easy listening", just for fun but it understand one of the great forgotten themes in our culture: How nice it is to have a family!

This movie is embarassing for the good actors in it - meaning Nastassja Kinski and Timothy Dalton - particularly with regard to Dalton who is an actor with tremendous screen presence. The script is half-cooked, the pace is off and the dialogue is lamer than in a TV-sitcom. The most likeable characters in the movie are the kids- and that doesn't say much for an adult romantic comedy. I was sorely dissapointed.

What a hideous waste of talent. Nastassja Kinski valiantly tries to do something with the script, but Timothy Dalton's try at comedy is over-the-top and pathetically schtick. And what a shame he decides to go shirtless in a few scenes. His stomach is the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. As for the kids in this film, they were better than average and like Nastassja, get an A+ for trying. The plot is as creaky as they come and utterly ridiculous, to boot. One of the worst tv movies I've seen in a long, long time.
