Title: Why Bother ?
Review: Given the cast I was looking forward to this movie.I have appreciated Dennis Quaid since Breaking Away. However, what is going on here? His performance feels so inconsistant. At one point it's like he's doing a bad Donald Sutherland imitation on zanax. Stop the freaking mumbling! Sarah Jessica Parker was just so dessipated and mundane. She flatlined. The supporting cast's work which at times was favorably noteworthy, could not balance out Mr. Quaid and Ms. Parker's downward spiral. At times the script offered a little something something, but for the most part this poorly metered, badly directed movie was numbing. There was nothing redeeming to be found in the set designs, hair styles, lighting, interiors... no where to run! It all just contributed to the uncomfortable fragmented muddy design of this boring production.
