Misses the Plate...

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2017)

Only notable for the chemistry between its two leads... In terms of theme, "Dirty Dancing" or even "Save the Last Dance" is much better.
Any attempt at dramatic tension makes itself known far too late to save the film, and just feels like a cheap afterthought, because it's an expected part of 'the formula'.
How such laziness made enough money to spawn a franchise is beyond me.
Boy am I glad that Channing graduated to working with Soderbergh, Tarantino and the Coens... because he looks uncomfortable with the false earnestness asked of him here - probably because it's so inauthentic.
