We wanted to like it, but ....

Rating: Null/10 (25 February 2000)

We agree entirely with the review from the fellow from Australia. This theme has been done lots of times before...e.g. "The Swimmer", "The Arrangement", or even good old "Middle Aged Crazy". All of these were sixties or seventies movies when we all knew the American Dream was banal and empty. The idea itself got old and banal but I guess with the passage of a few decades its time to recycle it one more time with a little more flesh.
It wasn't profound or insightful and the inconsistencies in characterization and plot were disappointing.
