Chance of a Lifetime
Irreverent freelance investigative reporter Tom Maguire hits rock bottom when bigot editor in chief Ivan refuses to print his pieces anymore and his bad back most be operated, but his health insurance just expired. Sympathetic editor Irene Dunbar, feeling guilty she didn't save his job, volunteers for a fake marriage so he can use her insurance. The 'happy couple' in now constantly beleaguered by her mother and an insurance inspector, while each has his own affairs, but the co-habitation also seems to generate meaningful affection.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The acting in this movie is really good.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
