like treating hemorrhoids with lithium

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2005)

The script for this film was so thin, the character development so weak, and the acting, for the most part, so rote, I was thankful that the film was relatively short (approx 100 mins.) I'm a big fan of Zach Braff but he would have had a much easier time dumbing down the 'adult-content' theme of the flick and selling it to the Disney channel. Why do screenwriters feel the need that, when creating angst-ridden characters, they have to over apply all the knee-jerk symptoms - no love, no family, no work, no home - to get the message across that their character is 'deeply troubled?' Audiences, especially the target audience for this film, are not stupid and do not have to be spoon-fed character development.
What a waste of a decent cast.
