Charm does not overcome slow, dry pace of film.

Rating: 6/10 (24 February 2008)

I had been interested in seeing this film after having viewed the trailer, and jumped at the chance to see it at a local arts theater. Sadly, although it is not without charm, I found it to be slow and dry more often than not. It seemed as if the film was searching for an identity that it never really found, was it a comedy, drama, gangster picture, or what? I was was never sure. The scenery is interesting and of course plays a role in the film. I did enjoy some of the comic dialogue and moments in the story, but in the end it did not make it a worthwhile trip to the theater. I would have been happier seeing it on cable and not spending $7.00. My suggestion, wait until you can see it on cable and save your money.
