The divorced American chef Matthew "Matt" Farragher (Timothy Dalton) takes two week vacation to spend with his son Lewis (Billy Kay) and his daughter Daphne Farragher (Natalie Elizabeth Marston) in the Balboa Island, in Panama. The German researcher of the genetically modified vegetables Dr. Julia Weiland (Nastassja Kinski) is also taking vacation in Balboa with her sons Thomas (Kevin Zegers) and Max (Cameron Finley) and her boring fiancé Russell (Geoffrey Lower). Matt gives freedom to his children and has fun with them while the uptight Julia raises her sons with rigid discipline. While driving to the ferry to the island, Matt and Julia have an argument. Soon they learn that they both rented the same house by the sea due to a mistake of the real estate. Further, the hotels and island are completely booked and they need to share the house. However, along the days their initial animosity begins to change while their children get along with each other very well. But Russell wants to marry Julia and Matt's girlfriend Felice (Carlton Elizabeth Gebia) wants to go one step ahead in their relationship."Time Share" a.k.a. "Bitter Suite", is a delightful romantic comedy with many funny situations. The chemistry between the gorgeous Nastassja Kinski and the handsome Timothy Dalton is perfect and makes the film a perfect entertainment with well balanced comedy and romance. The teenagers and children have also great participation in the story and this film is indeed worthwhile watching even for the third time. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Encontro às Avessas" ("Topsy Turvy Encounter")

I loved this movie and watched it with my daughter. I am a big Timothy Dalton fan and that is what drew me to watch it in the first place. Tim is very light-hearted and a fun loving, easy going father in this movie - a big change from what he usually plays (drama, historical characters). Although I am loving him in "CHUCK". Nastassja Kinski is also very good in her role as a straight laced food geneticist. The kids are very good actors and the fact that two single parents with kids going on vacation and get stuck having to share a condo is very funny and heart warming to watch. Seeing how two families who are strangers, being forced to live together and getting to know each other and the chaos that ensues will make anyone smile. Two thumbs up for this movie.

TIME SHARE is not the kind of film that will find it's way onto anyone's 'Top Ten' list, but as a light, entertaining romantic comedy, it is a pleasant diversion, and offers stars Timothy Dalton and Nastassja Kinski more 'audience friendly' roles than they've been appearing in, lately.He's a master chef/widower with devoted kids, a 'live life to the fullest' attitude, and a wicked grin; she's a botanist/divorcee with a geeky fiancé, frustrated kids, and a pent-up passion searching for an outlet. From the moment they meet, trying to squeeze their cars past one another for the last spot on a ferry to their island rental, they become both enemies and rivals, a situation that becomes even more pronounced when they discover that both families have been accidentally booked into the same summer rental. While the kids quickly bond, Dalton and Kinski simply seem to find more ways to irritate one another...although when she caresses him in the shower (thinking him to be her fiancé), she discovers him to be far more of a man than her current beau...and listening to her talk in her sleep, he learns that her aloofness hides a smoldering sexuality waiting to be released.Can True Love be far away?While a subplot of two of the children trapped on a sailboat in a storm lacks the tension to be truly effective, and Kinski's boyfriend is portrayed as so buffoonish and asexual that you wonder why she fell for him in the first place, the sexual chemistry between Dalton and Kinski is potent, and the film is romantic enough to make a good 'date movie'.For an evening's 'light' entertainment, you could do far worse than this easy-going comedy!
