Nothing New
17 June 2009
I went it with no expectations, which helped me still enjoy it. While nothing new in terms of premise, and at times extremely clichéd, it still was nicely diverting. I found the character Jeana (Estella Warren) very boring. Whether it was her acting or the poor script is unknown. She was very two-dimensional and I didn't buy it for a second. Didn't help that the camera kept oggling her up and down as if doubting she was a so-claimed "virgin". At first I didn't really notice or thing much of Paul (Christian Kane). However, he did grow on you as the movie progressed and I appreciated his under-spoken delivery that made it a little more believable. The scene-stealer by far was Tom, as played by Michael Weatherly. He clearly threw himself into the role whole-heartedly and managed to keep it from being smarmy. You genuinely believed he was a charming, clueless, and sex-driven man without any hidden agenda or deliberate wickedness. He made the best of such a character as possible and was a delight to watch.
