Reviews

After all the hype in the print media (Esquire's review was WAY OFF the mark...but then why would I trust that anyway??!!) I 'Flixed this DVD. After only 15 minutes (I should have known what was going to happen by the overly long opening track cycle race), I played this on 32X to just get by all the road trip stuff. But when I slowed down and there were other actors, it needed the 32X again; again no drama, no action, nothing but Vince. Not even worth the BJ. Vince: next time try a real screenplay rather than a piece of ruled notebook paper and someone with a camera looking over your dirty hair for 90 minutes. Perhaps it would have been a better movie if it was about someone just a little more INTERESTING.

Diane Lane is divorced again. John Cusack is too. Somehow they need to find each other amid the internet dating scene. Lane's character comes from a big Irish family that lends its support in her reluctant search for a new relationship. There are some Yeat's recitations. There are some gay friends that try and cheer her up. This movie is full of some great one-liners and sitcom situations. Many are plausible and elicited excited guffaws from the audience. But there are some very implausible situations toward the end that spoil the aura that follows the main characters in their pathos. Decent story, good actors, trashed ending. Usual Hollywood drivel. $6.75 please.
