Negative Positive
Title: About as satisfying as limp asparagus
Review: I was sadly disappointed in this latest attempt to depict the "meaning of the meaningless of it all." This film was chock a block full of lukewarm acting, semi-weak writing with fancy camera tricks to make up for Van Der Beek's leering (his attempt at angst?)and the lackluster character development. Jessica Biel was almost convincing as the sad little promiscuous girl looking for love and affection through sex, but who cares, since that character is totally overdone? Shannyn Sossamon, as gorgeous as she is, cannot save this trite exercise in banality. There is an uncomfortable scene in which she is vomited on while losing her virginity, but it seemed gratuitous. The best scene is when one of the kids (can't recall the name) makes an excellent scene in a restaurant.
Is the review positive or negative?
