disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (15 August 2011)

Film ambles slowly and depressingly to...no where! It only just picks up when the film ends. Very disappointing and a bit of a mismatch. Hoped it would be a love story but it was not. Shames as I usually like Bill Murray. Very improbable plot and little other information ie with the respective partners. Where was the leading lady's husband, he was in and out only fleetingly. Not enough deep dialogue for my liking and therefore the film did not fit into any real category.As there was little action, I would have hoped for better topics of conversation between the two leading characters. The dialogue was pretty shallow really and I am not sure what the film was trying to achieve. I was left disappointed and empty as this film was quite long in duration. At the time it started to take off and Bill Murray was making some real decision (or so I was hoping he would), in the end he didn't! The ending was the biggest disappointment of all. Missed a great opportunity to turn things around and I would not have felt unhappy at sitting through that first 90 minutes. When the opportunity arose to so something inspiring - it ended!
