MCT:June 15, 2008Wasn't too sure of these two pairing up together in a romantic movie....but it turned out to be a great movie to watch.....love james spader

MCT:May 9, 2008Spader always picks the best roles and he can do no wrong...ok i totally have a major thing for him But tell me who doesn't?
This was a sweet film minus a few bizarre scenes which really one should expect since its Spader and bizarre roles are part of his charm!!!
"There's no dust in her dustbuster?"
"What did he just say? Something about a dustbuster....?" haha some funny moments -

I cannot for the life of me remember how I felt after seeing this film. All I know is that the love scenes were sizzling, and I very much rooted for these two. There were several scenes in the film with dialogue I really loved. I think it is overall a pleasant romantic film.

There is an interesting restaurant makeout session (leave it to James Spader to squeeze sex in anywhere!)
-
MCT:September 8, 2007OK - I'm biased. Probably a 3.5 star movie but I just like it so much. Could be because I find both Sarandon and Spader appealing!! :o)

Ok so I'm not usually keen on love stories, but here's the exception, James Spader falls for a burger tossing older woman (Susan Sarandon), what will his uptown jewish buddies think?

I really liked this a lot. Another "Romeo & Juliet" like story. If you like "Pretty Woman", check this out. BTW, the name White Palace is a take-off on the White Castle hamburger chain.

MCT:April 5, 2007Am I missing something here? A trashy 40-something waitress picks up a cute, drunk younger man in a bar. She takes him home, basically rapes him, ( I know, I know....he seemed to be enjoying it, didn't he?) and then all of a sudden he can't do without her? I'm not buying it. There is not one word - not one line - not one shred of respect, admiration, fondness, or friendship between them. There is not one scene that convinces you that they really are compatible in any way. You get the feeling he doesn't even LIKE her very much. They have great sex - no question. But this is supposed to be the basis of a life-changing relationship for him? It is so totally unbelievable. I like Susan Sarandon and I like James Spader. But they should have gone back to the drawing board on this one before they ever released it. The older woman/younger man story is great. But let's get some better dialog and at least a couple of scenes to convince us that there might be a real relationship here.

Great set decoration. The end of the 1980's excess. I always wanted an apartment likes Max's!!! Classic James Spader fare!

First off, for all you flixsters who live in the Seattle area, I gotta envy you all being able to read Paula Nechak movie reviews all the time. Team flixster scoring her reviews is wonderful. I've read many synopses on this site, but I have to say that this one about White Palace is the most interesting one I've ever run across.
I definitely agree with Nechak's assessment of the fairytale element of this movie. It's hard to imagine this pair making a permanent match. But it's Hollywood, baby, so what happens . . . happens.
Had to add Sarandon to my favorite actor list right away. Stunning. She always is; she should have been on my list earlier. Eileen Brennan, in a small role, is mesmerizing. Not to mention that this was Spader when he had his stuff. A great movie, especially thanks to Susan Sarandon. Definitely, as Nechak says, Oscar-worthy work. Reminds me so much of Atlantic City. -

The superb performances from Susan Sarandon and James Spader sweep us along in this often sexy love story with a difference.
