Follows Lucy and Desi as they face a crisis that could end their careers and another that could end their marriage. Biography,Drama I grew up on I Love Lucy reruns... watching this couple who loved each other and their neighbors the Mertzs through all their ups, downs, disagreements, successes and failures as they lived their day to day life that always ended "happy." We did "Love Lucy" with all her quirks, idiosyncrasies and hilariously animated antics....all the way to the "happy end." This movie is not about any of that. This is about real life and not so happy endings. An incredibly transformed Nicole Kidman does an excellent job playing the extremely professional perfectionist career woman Lucy. Javier Bardem is absolute perfection playing the gorgeous latin musician, actor, innovator and shrewd businessman who made "Desilu" the financial success it was; if not for Desi there would not have been film of the Lucy episodes! No reruns! The movie delves into Lucy's pre-television film career, the communist scandals that threatened the future of the show, the fight won to have Lucy's pregnancy and birth of her second child incorporated into the show as well as the problems that plagued Lucy and Desi's marriage. Their children are the producers. The movie is a "dialogue" movie that will not appeal to those that look for the non-stop noisy action of todays ridiculous fantasy films. This movie is for those who enjoy learning about real people, their lives and history. This movie is for those who really "Love Lucy"..... and Ricky too!
