Overacted, pretentious, trite

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2009)

Notable for horrendous acting and self-conscious, unconvincing dialog.
Film begins with a ridiculous voice-over purporting to "explain" the characters' motivations. Presumably the voice-over was intended so that everyone who didn't walk out then and there and ask for a refund would be clueless enough to provide that coveted "word of mouth." Then you have a ridiculous scene where the lead, hammily and unconvincingly portraying a distraught lover, is breaking plates over and over. It's not even a good cliché, it's a bad one, and executed badly too.
A few minutes later there's a ridiculous dialog bit where the girl says something nominally surprising and the guy "spits out his drink." Did the director go to some school of obvious sitcom slapstick to try and figure out his reactions? Full of overacting, pretentiousness, and cliché.
