Ridiculous trash

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2005)

I want to preface by saying I walked out of this right before the scene with Natalie Portman doing the lap dance. I may be crazy, but even that wasn't enough to keep me in the theater.
This movie is totally bereft of moral integrity. Like Mystic River, I guess this kind of crap attracts like-minded people. I liked the cast, but the story was disgusting and ridiculous. Why do I want to sit and watch dysfunctional people cheat on people they claim they love, etc.? I don't. It's not art; it's trash.
I know I sound morally Republican, etc., but come on: Hollywood may have been dominated by cutesy little love stories for a long time, but that doesn't mean there has to be an equal onslaught about infidelity and whore-like slags.
Thumbs down. Sorry, Natalie; you're hot and I adore you, but this movie is all wrong.
