Painting by numbers

Rating: 5/10 (22 March 2007)

How many clichés can you cram into one film? How many plot contrivances? I felt sorry for the actors having to pretend that someone had written them real lines, although the wooden performances, especially from Jennifer Connolly, made it seem that they didn't really care anyway. As for any sign of electricity between Jennifer and Leo - it wouldn't fire up an LED! The only reason I gave it 5 points was because of the nice sets and because some of coincidences that kept the plot on track and the characters in touch with each other were so silly that I actually laughed. As for Leo's wandering accent .......... the less said the better. Complete and utter rubbish.
