Negative Positive
Title: Really wanted to like this one. . . .
Review: We bought this DVD because of the promises on the case, which made it sound like a hilarious comedy with a wonderful cast. Unfortunately, neither my wife nor I were able to find anything funny about it. This is a movie about characters who use and manipulate each other, hurting each other greatly in the process. The script is simply awful, giving us no reason to care for or about any of the characters at all. While the actors seemed to be able to convey their characters' quirks and personalities quite well, almost nothing works together, and the film just gets more and more depressing as it goes. This is definitely one to pass on if you have anything else to choose from at all. There was no feeling of "I've just watched something important," not even "I've just been entertained well." It's simply a dark and dreary story of dreary characters who arouse no sympathy on the part of the viewer. These were two wasted hours.
