Match Pointless

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2006)

Really weak plot, uninspiring dialog, predictable acting. Woody is just not very good at drama and he proves it once again. The forced parallel with Crime & Punishment is a drag and Chris Wilton is sure no Raskolnikov. The plot may have worked as a cream puff romantic comedy, but it's not funny, save for the unintentional comic effect of the badly written characters spewing banal truisms with tragic facial expressions. The attempts at depth and wisdom are so weak, dishonest and lazy, it's the level of high-school poetry. It may have worked as a crime movie, but it's not very exciting. Just predictability all around. Even the twists in the plot are not very surprising. Oh, and the dialog. Just dreadful. Plain dreadful.
Don't waste your time on it.
