Nice Actors, Shallow Story

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2003)

Lots of people have raved about this film, but for me, it boiled down to two wonderful performances and a great location. As for anything else, it disappeared as soon as I walked out of the theatre.
We're supposed to believe that this couple bonds as a pair of fish-out-of-water visitors, but except for one scene in which they murmur to one another while half asleep, they never seem to talk! Is it just sexual attraction - that would be believable on the part of Murray's character, at least.
I guess it's one of those movies onto which so many can project their own daydreams and unfulfilled fantasies - the stuff of much movie popularity. Not bad, but not worth raving about. I look forward to seeing more of Scarlett J. What a name!
