Title: Rock & Doris redux
Product review: I can't fathom why this had so much hype. There was certainly nothing special about it-just another updated Hudson/Day flick, except with "NEW! IMPROVED! SEX SCENES!" Anna Kendrick and Vera Farmiga *BOTH* nominated for BSA? Really?? Schmooze away and you'll get a Nomination! I guess it really is about Academy politics. As Mo'Nique said, "I would like to thank the Academy for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics." I was relieved when she won. The performances here were not nomination-worthy, just average. Clooney was fine, again nothing special. Pair this withThe Hurt Locker(not as over-hyped but just as over-rated) and it's tedium at it's finest.
