Close to nothing

Rating: 1/10 (28 January 2005)

A really unhappy movie. Nasty in language, behavior, thought and deed.
The two male actors look physically groady...one can almost smell the body odor. Julia Roberts is the same Julia that she always plays.
Natalie Portman is the only character of any substance in this chronologically challenging waste of celluloid.
The euphemism 'really good acting' cannot save this turkey, which is without redeeming social value. If it wins an Oscar, then this really has something to say about the La Brea condition of the industry.
I would say it is about people behaving like dogs, but dogs don't treat other dogs the way these people interact with each other.
Several people got up and left the movie. We didn't, but wouldn't have missed anything if we had done so.
