"Some Kind of Beautiful" is a 2014 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Tom Vaughan and written by Matthew Newman. The film features a talented cast, including Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, and Jessica Alba. The film tells the story of successful poetry professor Richard Haig (Pierce Brosnan), who lives a privileged and carefree life in California. Despite his professional and financial success, Richard is somewhat of a playboy and has a reputation for dating his students.

Richard's life takes a turn when he meets Kate (Jessica Alba), a beautiful and free-spirited woman who is much younger than him. Despite their age difference, Richard and Kate fall deeply in love and eventually get married. However, their happiness is short-lived when Kate decides to move to England to pursue her career, leaving Richard behind in California.

The plot takes a twist when Richard receives a call from Kate, telling him that she is pregnant with his child. Richard immediately travels to England to be with Kate and support her during her pregnancy. However, upon arrival, he learns that Kate has fallen in love with another man, Brian (Ben McKenzie), and they have started a family together.

The story then follows Richard's journey as he tries to find his place in this new family dynamic. He becomes a teacher at the university where Kate teaches, and he develops a close relationship with his son, Jake (Duncan Joiner), often taking him on trips around England. Richard also becomes close with Kate's sister, Olivia (Salma Hayek), who is battling her own personal demons.

As the story progresses, Richard struggles to navigate his complicated feelings for Kate, while also trying to find his own happiness and purpose in life. The film explores themes of love, family, and finding oneself.

The performances in "Some Kind of Beautiful" are fantastic, with Pierce Brosnan delivering a strong and nuanced portrayal of Richard as a man who is struggling to find his place in the world. Jessica Alba is charming as Kate, and her chemistry with Brosnan is palpable. Salma Hayek's performance as Olivia is also impressive, bringing depth and vulnerability to the character.

The film is shot beautifully, with stunning scenery in both California and England. The soundtrack features a mix of classic and contemporary songs, which add to the film's overall charm.
