Kiss the Sky (1999)

Suprising very good and nice twist at the end...

I'm a big fan of both Petersen and Cole but bought this mainly for William Petersen's role in it. I like the diversity of both characters in roles that they play and knowing from Bio's that they are real life friends there was a chemistry on film with them that was very believable.
I expected the film to be more risque and was pleasantly shocked that it was handled very adultly in the adult material content. The end was suprising and more towards the realities of life and how they play out vs. Hollywood's view on people and their lives. I honestly enjoyed it much more than I thought and will watch it again. August 7, 2007

Billy Petersen Fan

I really enjoyed this movie because I am a huge Billy Petersen fan. I have watched it several times and my only critisism is that I find myself screaming at the screen, "Get over yourselves". May 13, 2007

WOW!

Surprisingly this movie was a delight to watch - having been a fan for many years of Billy Petersen, but only seeing him primarily as Gil Grissom - this movie was a breath of fresh air.

it had it's moments where I noticed my mind wandering, but overall it was well written and I enjoyed seeing him in such a role..

The ending was also quite a surprise to me as well - if you are fan of Billy Petersen this is a movie no collection should be without... January 14, 2007

Better than I expected.

I liked this movie better as it went along. I, too, am not very happy with the way my life has gone. I guess that if you are self-satisfied, then you probably won't like this movie. But being who I am and where I have been in my life, it touched me deeply, particularly with its mournful Leonard Cohen songs in the background and its sad twist at the end. I strongly disagree with the reviewer who thought the presence of Terence Stamp's Buddhist monk and the story line of the building of the tower were extraneous. I see this story as the two main characters' search for an earthly nirvana, and the tower is a literal construction evoking the movie's title. I bought this movie because I am a big fan of Billy Petersen, and he gives really fine performance here, worth an extra star. (But I'm so glad that he's keeping his clothes on in his current role as CBS's top CSI, Gil Grissom.) December 31, 2005

OK... etc

Not terrible, not great. not memorable. who was in it? I forgot. 2 guys and a girl. the 2 men go on vacation - or is it business? w/out their wives (big mistake) to a lovely tropical island place.

money seems to be no object. should have brought the wives. oh well. they go on to have an adventure, meet a girl. at first she is the second choice, the ugly duckling, next to the tall "beautiful" girlfriend. but as soon as they decide they like her - poof - she becomes quite pretty.(amazing.)

the three-some is awkward, at best. the lighting and music painfully trying too hard to be seductive and sexy and it flops.

the boys decided to run away from it all and build a resort. (again, money is no object.) it turns out to be very painful and flops worse than the sex scene. but, the real problem is that we didn't CARE that it flopped. in a movie - one that is GOOD - you get to where you CARE about the characters. you want them to win, to succeed, to get the girl etc. but not here.
we just didn't CARE. my man, Norman, bought this for the sex.. ha ha - poor man - didn't find much. wasted his money. next time - I get to pick the flick!
