one of the worst films i've ever seen

Rating: 2/10 (26 April 2005)

WOW!, another mike Nichols film about infidelity and relationships, how original of you mike.The sad thing is that his other films were almost good.This movie is in essence about a bunch of disgusting people who are with people and want to be with other people and the events that ensue.That's it...that's all the movie is about, and everyone who says it goes deeper than that must have misconceived.The film features the horrible overrated acting talents of the hideous,barely tolerable Julia Roberts, and to top that he threw the worst actress in movies today in this one...ms. Natalie Portman.Clive Owens does offer a very good performance and Jude law is good as usual, but the female side of the talent of this film is less than lacking.Instead of the movie offering a portrait of these controversial events, the characters just all become whiny and intertwined and blah blah blah.Give me a break Nichols, you used to have talent but now you throw it away with poor scripts and overrated acting talent. I had more faith in you as a director and in this film, i guess i was wrong.Instead of seeing this film,do yourself a favor and smash your tongue with a meat tenderizer repeatedly...they both with achieve the same effect with the latter being more tolerable.This movie tries to be smart and poignant and instead comes off watered down. Total disappointment
