a really miserable film

Rating: Null/10 (9 December 2009)

Well I had high hopes of this film, yet I was totally disappointed. I knew what to expect in the movie, but nothing prepared me for the utterly awful character played by Deschanel. She plays a hideous, self-absorbed, self-important user who endears herself to no one, and she is a totally hypocritical liar to boot. I know she is 'of a type' but that doesn't mean anyone is going to like this character. I certainly didn't, and I found this to be one of the least life-affirming films of the year. The male lead (played by a lifeless doormat) really needs a reality check from the first minute. Avoid this unless you enjoy feeling miserable. Its not big and its not clever.
