Title: overblown and overrated, don't believe the hype!
Product review: I sit here with mouth agape as I read prior reviews of this ridiculously shallow one-track mind trash. The director, who also did the yawnfest, Barcelona, has absolutely no sense of flow or wit. And yet critics seem to gravitate towards this nonsense. If this type of casual diatribe is what you dig, then try the Merchant-Ivory claptrap which at least contributes some costume design. Or better yet, see Campbell Scott and Jennifer Jason-Leigh in the Dorothy Parker film. At least you will laugh. Nothing funny here, and nothing interesting for that matter. All you are subjected to is soap-operish musings about class and a kindergarten philosophy that grows stale with 5 minutes of alertness. I really wanted to try to find something positive about this film. Even the self conscious rantings were stilted with apologies. I can't see how anyone could take stuff like this even remotely seriously. Don't fall into the trap and don't believe the hype!
