Why don't they make good movies anymore?

Rating: 2/10 (9 April 2005)

Let me preface this by saying I'm a big fan of Julia Roberts and Natalie Portman as well as Jude Law. But this is one of those movies that movie snobs like to pretend is good just so they can look intelligent when it really just proves they don't have a mind of their own.
I find it hard to believe that the 3 above actors read the script and said "Oh yeah, I want to be in that movie!" If you are even thinking of having any children watch this with you or heaven forbid by themselves, please rethink that. It would be a very bad idea. But the sexual language isn't all I object to. It's just the pitiful humans that are represented by these actors. If this is supposed to be a portrayal of a "normal" relationship then I feel sorry for all those "normal" people out there. If you are looking for a feel-good movie, this is definitely not it.
With that said, I do see so much talent in Natalie Portman and I see her winning many Oscars in the future. She is really a terrific actress. Just be warned about the movie itself. I don't recommend it at all.
