Last half hour was OK

Rating: 2/10 (31 March 2010)

but I was so disappointed with the rest of the film. I was really looking forward to a treat after reading the glowing reviews on here. Something right up there with Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind in terms of insight fullness regarding relationships. Sadly, it was bland & without any impact. There was no chemistry between the main characters & it was hard to find anything lovable about Summer. She, & the relationship, was just so 2D. I feel the premise of the story was good but the opportunity was utterly squandered. The last 25 mins was much better, as if the director had finally got into his stride, but it really wasn't worth the toe-fidgeting boredom of the 1st hour. The girl who played the kid sister was good, engaging, & worthy of better parts. All in all a big flop for me.
