Review of Barefoot

Barefoot (I) (2014)
7/10
Saved by Evan Rachel Wood
7 June 2014
A wayward son of a wealthy family working in a mental hospital brings a mental patient to his brother's wedding.

The story is sweet and at sometimes a little lacking in subtlety but overall it's watchable romantic comedy that's quite light hearted and has two leads that are good. It could have been funnier and better written in parts but it's still worth a watch for fans of the leads.

Evan Rachel Wood's unique charm and loveliness save her character Daisy Kensington from being annoying. Evan is such a versatile actress she can play anything from super sweet to evil (Mildred Pierce) and her innocence is believable here. The character is given some dialog and behavior that could have been better written. Scott Speedman is fairly charming and rakish in his role looking for help from his parents. Shouldn't have made him so scruffy.

Worth one watch.
