An intriquing disaster

Rating: 8/10 (12 May 2003)

When I watch this film I can feel it failing in so many different ways. Edward's not funny, he's not particularly sad. He's like a three year old and watching a three year old fail in love is not only appropriate, it is necessary. There is no way this guy could get Winona (and who doesn't love her in that red wig--oh my). I don't know what we're supposed to be feeling, who we're supposed to identify with, or whether it is a happy or sad ending.
Still, while I know they failed to obtain what they wanted in this movie, the cinematography is grand. The characters are eye candy. It's one that you can't stop watching, but for all the wrong reasons. I'll give it a 6.
