Negative Positive
Title: Pedestrian and somewhat trite despite good actors
Review: I am a big fan of all the actors in this movie. Unfortunately, the movie comes across as stilted, unrealistic and a downer. Helen Hunt, who I love, gives a grimacing, frowning performance, sans makeup. She looks tired and like she doesn't want to be in the movie. Although she has awful things happen to her, like her husband leaving,she has sex with him in a car with the door open on a public street. What? And why Colin Firth would want to be with her is a mystery.This movie is a prime example of why some actors should not be directors.
Is the review positive or negative?
