There is that kind of lovestory that I don’t get to see that often. It’s the not a romantic comedy, the comedy that has romance tucked into sometimes seemingly by accident, the zero chemistry super star vehicle. We get to see these things but mostly on short episodic movies like Love Actually and Valentines Day and the like. I believe the problem has always been that moderation , balance is the harder thing to accomplish. They almost hit that note with this movie, alas I don’t know if they wanted a movie done by an ADD and depressed person. The film felt done by someone taking ritalin and/or prozac. If that was the messiness they wanted then they succeeded. I cant recommend this movie, but I’ve seen it twice to see two excellent performances and dream of what could have been if they were more focused.
