There is only one reason to see this movie Natalie Portman

Rating: 3/10 (19 December 2004)

From the previews I was not expecting this movie. This was one of the most disappointing movie experiences I have had in a long time. From the beginning of the movie you wonder where it is going and at the end you wonder where you just went. Nobody, and I mean nobody in this movie is likable and by the end you don't care about anyone in the movie. The movie is not really about people, it's about sex. It is even more about talking about sex, in ways that are boring, and how people can mess up relationships in a lot of different ways. These are also some of the dumbest people I have seen on screen in a long time. Nobody seems to have the ability to learn from past experiences.
All that aside, it is nice to see Natalie Portman finally get a role that shows she can act. I was afraid she was going to be thought of as the Queen in the latest Star War movies. She must have taken those movies for the paycheck. Awful!!! Here she shows the potential she showed in Beautiful Girls. She stole that movie, and she was only 15. She should have a great future.
I would not waste your money on this movie. Wait until it is in the $.99 aisle in the rental section if you have to see it. Based on the reaction of the people I heard talking outside the theater, it will be in the rental stores soon enough.
One last comment, if you were one of the people who actually liked this movie, you should look for Your Friends & Neighbors starring Amy Brenneman. It was a very similar movie.
