Made (2001)
this movie MADE for a disappointment
it's inevitable that this film will be compared to Swingers. unfortunately, it feels like a tired knock-off. without a director to keep favreau and vaughn in check, the characters are over the top and yet lack any depth. bobby and ricky aren't interesting or even entertaining - they're merely annoying. the start and end of the film, particularly with regard to the girlfriend's daughter, feel as though they were tacked on in an attempt to give the movie some emotional weight. all i can say is this movie is so not money.
Bedrooms and Hallways (1998)
came to a screeching halt
I found this film to be immensely enjoyable and entertaining until the last 20 minutes or so. At that point, it ran out of gas. The ending reminded me of awards show speeches in which the recipient is urged to "wrap it up" as the music swells behind him/her. The sudden pairing off of all the characters feels forced and lacks credibility. I felt quite let down.
