A mess

Rating: 1/10 (13 December 2004)

If you enjoy the excruciatingly tedious opening scenes, by all means stay. If you are bored to tears and you hope that it will get better, leave immediately. It gets far worse. The plot is incomprehensible, the pacing nonexistent, the chemistry between the characters absent. Zeta-Jones is eye candy, but I recommend watching a T-Mobile commercial instead.
Clooney and Roberts have some chemistry, but it goes unused. The writers (sic) and director (siccer) provide no vehicle whatsoever for them to harness said chemistry for entertainment purposes.
I'm glad that the actors had fun making this film. I had fun in Europe, too. Europe is fun, especially post election here in the US of A. My recommendation: The cast should bring their personal digital photos and video from their trip to the Oprah show; without a doubt, that would provide a great deal more entertainment and make a great deal more sense than this embarrassment of a film.
