Don Johnson in Paradise (1991)
What a tenderly made film! The story might sounds completely cliche on paper, (A couple discovers their lost passion for each other through a kid.) but the emotions on display are so natural and sincere, it is impossible not to fall under their spell.
Mr. Johnson is great in his role as the emotionally suppressed husband; now I respect him even more as an actor. Unfortunately his fine physique is completely under-utilized here; he has two potential scenes with neither offering a good view. (Yes, what you see from the caps are as revealing as it get.) Still, he face is beautiful in this film.
Another surprise for me is Elijah Wood. Man, this kid can act!
One would think with the big deal that was made out of Don Johnson in the 1980s and his sex appeal, he'd be taking his shirt off in more movies.
