Oh dear... How did such a bad script attract great actors?!

Rating: 2/10 (13 October 2006)

The DVD says "medium level course language"... Well if that's "medium" I'm stumped as to what "high" could be! It's pretty extreme, especially the internet pornography part.
This whole piece seems to be the product of a somewhat unwell mind. The script is awful for being so deeply improbable, and thoroughly depressing. Even part-way decent adolescents - never mind adults - don't behave this way. It's all about compulsive infidelity by all and sundry, and a pathological, repetitive fickleness which becomes exasperating.
All of the characters are drawn almost identically. It's also very disjointed in terms of time-line. Not a polished work.
So...I don't understand how they persuaded such competent actors to be a part of it. Natalie Portman significantly degraded herself too - a terrible shame for such a fine actress who had avoided this trap until now. Oh well..!
