Title: Possibly the worst film since Ishtar
Product review: This movie is a painful waste of good talent. I was drawn to this film by the headline stars like Gwenneth Paltrow and Andre Braugher. Big mistake. The acting is sophmoric - I've seen high school plays that were executed better than this movie. The fault lies squarely in the lap of director Bruce Paltrow and the sorry script. The only professional performance in the movie is Paul Giamatti as a traveling salesman fed up with the rat race of being on the road, only to come home to a wife more interested in chatting on AOL than having a real conversation. I tried to like this film because I love Gwenneth Paltrow, but not even she could save this from being movie-making at its very worst. Even the songs in the movie version don't sound like what was played on the radio - different mixes. Should have never been released.
