Review of Some Kind of Beautiful

Everything about this movie is cliché: the story, the dialogs, and even the ending. The cast is made of great actors, but not even they were enough to save this film from a catastrophic failure. Most of the characters add absolutely nothing to the plot. The direction, however, was the worst part of the movie. Some continuity errors were quite amateurish, like the scene {MILD SPOILER FOLLOWS} where Olivia (Hayek) is driving Richard's (Brosnan) Mustang: they leave their house with the child's seat quite visible in the backseat. Throughout all of their drive in LA, the seat is not in the car (as in completely removed), but when they arrive at their destination, Jake's school, the seat is again visible. This mistake is so amateurish, so basic, that from that moment on my hopes for a good movies went down the drain. Do yourself a favor and watch something else. Like the police say in crime scenes: "move along, nothing to see here"!
