Negative Positive
Title: Not satisfying
Review: I just don't quite "get" this film, nor do I see where all the positive reviews came from. The film is comprised of vignettes focused on four basic groups of characters: lawyers, office workers, cleaning ladies, and college professor. But almost nothing exciting or remarkable happens in this film, nothing that really made me wonder what would happen next or how this film would turn out. We basically start the movie with John Turturro's story of being a late to home husband with a bruise on his eye that came from some encounter a few days before then we're brisked off to McConaughey's piece about a positive man who runs into some bad luck following a sermon he gives to a man at the bar about him not ever being unhappy. The rest of the stories interweave into each other before it's all done, which is an interesting concept, but it's been done much better in other films.
Is the review positive or negative?
