So Much Promise completely falls apart

Rating: 2/10 (6 September 2011)

I was so excited about going to see this. It has all the elements. Academy Award winning actors. A promising premise. And in the first few minutes I thought it was going to be good. I even admire Jennifer Aniston playing a totally evil slut, I think it takes guts for someone in her position to take that risk. But after a few minutes the writing just fell apart. The characters all started making the most imbecilic choices. A few five-year-olds would have been smarter about planning a murder. It was just beyond stupid. After ten minutes of one ridiculous choice after another, we finally left the theater because it felt like someone was hitting us over the head with a hammer. What a waste of talent.
