Title: OMG are you serious? This was awful!
Product review: I will go on record to say that this was positively awful. The correspondence between two lifelong friends, Melissa and Andy, was trite and ultimately boring beyond words. This 1999 Canadian television production could not have paired together two more unsuited actors in Laura Linney, a superior actress with the lifeless and untalented Steven Weber. Weber's performance was so stultifying that any hint of chemistry between the two was lost. After seeing this done live on stage in 1998 as a reading, this teleplay adapted by the playwright A.B.Gurney himself had all of the stage emotion and life choked from it with Weber's numbing performance and Lee Holdridge's sappy 1970-esque musical scoring. The stage play was average, but the teleplay is dreadful.
