The List

The List is a perfectly decent movie. It's quite well made. It's quite well acted. And it's quite funny in parts.

Where it falls down is it's lack of oomph, lack of punch, lack of edginess. This is mainly down to the direction and the writing......and the plot with it's conveniences and contrivances......and the ending that is telegraphed in the first half of the movie.....and the weak comedy editing make the slapstick scenes seem a little wooden.

The biggest problem with the direction is the almost constant use of montage and the problem with the script is the constant LA pop culture references.

Maybe singletons in California will get more from this movie more than I did.
