On February 13, 2004, Ryszard Zatorski’s romantic comedy based on the best-selling novel of the same title by Katarzyna Grochola debuted in cinemas across Poland. The story of Judyta (played by ) who, after a divorce, decides to move to the countryside and completely change her life, instantly stole the hearts of viewers, becoming a hit. And although the years pass, its phenomenon does not weaken, gaining recognition among subsequent generations. If you are looking for another movie with a similar topic, you will definitely like the following ones.
Not just “Never in my life”. The plot of these films is confusingly similar to the story of Judyta
A Polish production that is very reminiscent of the cult story of Judyta is “Don’t lie, darling” by Piotr Wereśniak, starring Piotr Adamczyk. It is a story about a womanizer who, entangled in numerous financial problems, decides to marry a young woman in order to take over a huge fortune from a relative from abroad. Then he doesn’t expect that under her influence he will completely change his attitude to life and fall in love without memory. A slightly older audience will undoubtedly also like the cult comedy “Under the Tuscan Sun” directed by Audrey Wells. The plot is based on the autobiography of Frances Mayes and focuses on the fate of a writer who, right after her divorce, decides to buy a luxurious villa in Bramasole, where she hopes to regain spiritual balance. With a new place to live, comes a new crush for her.
“Never in a Lifetime” inspires subsequent generations. These romantic comedies tell similar stories
This type of production will also include something for a younger audience. Particularly noteworthy is the adaptation of Nicholas Sparks’ novel “Safe Haven” directed by Lasse Hallström. It’s a story about a young woman, Katie, who can’t find her place after moving to a small town in North Carolina. Alex, the owner of a local shop and a widower, whom she meets by chance, comes to her aid, and their friendly relationship quickly turns into a warm feeling.
The fate of Elis Lacey, the main character of the melodrama “Brooklyn” by John Crowley based on Colm Tóibín’s novel of the same title, is similar. The girl decides to move from Ireland to New York, where she falls madly in love with a man she just met. However, the past will not let her forget and will quickly make her face a dramatic choice.
Equally interesting is “Legally Blonde” by Robert Luketic, based on the book “Elle Woods’ Lawyer” by Amanda Brown. It is the story of a college student whose life turns upside down when it turns out that her loved one’s relatives do not accept their relationship. Sam is about to start studies at Harvard, and they consider her not very ambitious, a typical blonde. The girl decides to do everything to prove her worth and show them that they are wrong.
