I saw this film at Sundance and came away thinking that this is one of the most amateurish, joyless films I have seen in years. I actually enjoyed the set up and was hoping that there were be more humor injected into film. But then I realized that only the love scenes are laughable. Ms O'Connor is given an interesting role and is a breath of fresh air in the film. Acting is competent if perfunctory. Hopefully director will go back to doing plays.

I liked the characters at first.

But then, sometime during the "night on the town" scene's syrupy music, I kept thinking the director must have been kidding. Most of that lightweight content should have ended up on the cutting-room floor. (Sigh, eject) Is there really an audience who likes the content spelled-out to that extent? Perhaps there is. I wish someone could have warned me not to hire this DVD. As a public service. I must admit I choose my films by the laurel-logos of "Academy Award" or "Nominated for best ...xxx", whereas I avoid testimonials like "Thumbs up" or "A rollicking tale." I now know that "Official Selection ..Sundance" is no guarantee of quality viewing. We live and learn.
