Like a Tennessee Williams Play

Rating: 4/10 (24 August 2009)

What a terribly depressing story about people who have no idea about happiness. It really did remind me of a Tennessee Williams play. All the characters are hopeless. It all starts out so innocently. Frank and April Wheeler - a couple of dreamers who are going places. They have big plans. However life doesn't tend to follow road maps. They want so desperately to be happy, but it's just not meant to be. Just when they think they have the perfect solution to all their problems, Life steps in and messes it all up. Throw in a crazy acquaintance who sees things more clearly than the so-called sane characters in this drama, and you have the perfect tragedy. I just sat in stunned silence when it was over. All that was missing was the Southern accents.
