Empty and no story worth telling.

Rating: 3/10 (24 December 2006)

One of the best examples to illustrate the decline of Cinema. If Hollywood executives come up with this sort of empty, story-less and uninvolving screenplays, and even succeed in getting cooperation of an superbly capable actress like Meryl Streep, the future looks very bleak indeed. Nice pictures though, and well photographed. This however cannot hide the supreme superficiality and lack of even a trace of interesting storyline. After the first reel, the road to the end is tedious and utterly predictable. An insult to intelligence and a great disappointment. Mind you, we watched it on the big screen, so don't be tempted to buy the DVD. Better treat yourself to a Chinese take-away. Has more content.
