Negative Positive
Title: Smart People? Uh, more like ..."Dumb Movie"
Review: Formulaic caricatures comprise this thin plot line. Dennis Quaid is haggard, cast as a misanthropic, self-absorbed English professor. Sarah Jessica Parker is not credible as the high-heeled E.R. doctor who has time to casually chat up her patients and give injections that are usually delegated to nurses. Ellen Page reprises the implausibly wisecracking character in "Juno," sans the teen pregnancy. Thomas Hayden Church delivers his flat catatonic lines as though he is on anti-depressants. (I wish I had some before inserting this DVD...)Add in a creepy semi-incestuous romantic relationship between the desiccated uncle and a teenaged niece and you have a recipe for a real stinkeroo.To buy into this movie, you not only have to suspend your disbelief, you have to suspend your intelligence.I had high hopes for the movie and had read the positive reviews but would recommend you pass on this one...
