Good But Too Much Melodrama

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2008)

I found this movie to be well acted and with quite entertaining scenes that kept me interested for most of the movie. It was well acted by virtually all of the actors, without anyone being particularly outstanding. Where the movie fell down in my opinion, was that it was too melodramatic. I thought that there were too many scenes where the reaction or rather over-reaction of the characters was far to pronounced. I almost stopped watching it for this reason. I persevered with it however, and my final view of it as a movie is 6 out of 10. From my point of view, the director must take responsibility for that, because it could quite easily have been a far better movie. In some cases, humor could have been used in place of the melodrama to a far better affect.
