Some Girl(s)

"I wrote down the names of the women I felt remotely responsible for our problems. I narrowed it down to 5 who I felt were truly essential to me and where I am at now as a person." When a writer (Brody) decides to get married he makes a list of his former girlfriends and visits the top 5 one last time to bring closure to all the relationships. One by one he is told what they think of him and why they feel the way they do. He not only questions his current relationship but his past actions as well. This is a movie that is hard to review. First of all the idea and acting are good and it is obvious that this was written as a stage play. In order to really feel for the characters you have to not really even like them but you must respect them. Bad guys are interesting, you don't like them but you respect the character and his role. Adam Brody's character in this is so unlikeable you almost hate him and really have no respect for what he is doing. The more women he talks to the more you begin to despise the guy and by the end I really ended up hating everything about the guy. The test for a good movie is one that makes you feel certain emotions. By that standard this was a good movie, but this isn't really one I can recommend because Brody's character really could go down as one of the worst people in the history of cinema. I guess to see what I mean is a reason to watch. Overall, good movie but I can't recommend it. I give it a B-.
