Winslet and Carrey have no chemistry

Rating: 3/10 (11 March 2012)

as someone that has recently gone through a very long and very painful breakup you would think that I would be the perfect audience for this film. no. quite the opposite actually. It instead highlighted how lacking in substance the movie was. it in no way for one moment even came close
the idea is good and so the problem is in the execution, especially the casting of the lead roles. I didn't at any point feel that Winslet and Carrey were in love with each other which is kinda an important ingredient for this film to work
I never really liked Winslet much to be honest, I find her very self absorbed and self indulgent and she never really appears to give anything on screen to her co actors. Jim Carrey is okay but feels shallow in this one. overall him and Winslet just do not feel like a good match at all. probably Carrey and Dunst would've been a more interesting couple
in terms of production values I saw or heard nothing exceptional. visually and sonically I found the movie very grey
