Nouvelle Twee

Rating: 1/10 (15 February 2007)

The new style of 'independent' movies made in the States, sentimental, illiterate, sentimental, badly-constructed, and did I mention sentimental? Not one plot point is believable starting with why are they all in the van. Everything that happens after they get in the van is a cliché. The 'professor' has clearly never read Proust - I doubt the writers have either. I found it hard to believe he'd ever been to a university. And all the clap-trap about following your dreams was laughable. Alan Arkin was about the best thing in it but he's only in a couple of scenes. For this he gets awards?
Beats me why this dreck has the reputation that it does. It's like Capra remade by the brain- dead.
