Negative Positive
Title: Weak
Review: An unemployed screenwriter has to help the third-most powerful man in Hollywood get laid? Don't buy it. Even if I could accept the fact that this loser of a protagonist has thousands of gorgeous women in his rolodex, why isn't he sleeping with any of them? More disturbing, why don't any of these starlets recognize Sydney, the head of a major studio, at restaurants or bars? I just didn't sympathize with Heyward, the protagonist, at all. I thought he was a complete loser and struggling to come to grips with being a homosexual. (A 'colorist'??) He is a "struggling" writer yet spends the better part of a week doing nothing but planning a party and then, thinking the party is a flop, is ready to plunk down $1,000 for a plane ticket to N.Y. to run away? Sorry, but this plot just doesn't come clean in the wash.
Is the review positive or negative?
