Title: Wasted Opportunity
Review: This movie starts out with a different kind of love story: a lothario who meets that one girl who spontaneously makes him want to become a decent human being and something different for this one special love. The proposition is introduced brilliantly in this film, and the acting, though decidedly mid range in quality, is capable of pulling off a good drama. The directing is soemthing you'll have to put up with: short staccato scenes that jab you with story bits rather than drawing you into a dramatic sweep. But even with all these handicaps, this could have been a fine film. The problem is that the screenplay gives us nothing for its brilliant setup except futility. The result is disappionting and unsatisfying.
Is the review positive or negative?
