Not the worst movie this year... but not good.

Rating: 3/10 (3 January 2006)

This was not a great movie, nor was I expecting it to be. I think they really overdid Matthew McConaughey's shirtless scenes, it seems like for whatever reason they felt the need to keep him scantily-clad the entire time. Maybe to keep the girls interested? Probably. But once you notice it it really gets grating.
The acting is okay, the script is acceptable but the direction is somewhat boring. This movie could have easily been 90 minutes and the emotional impact the ending was supposed to have fell flat. It seems like there was meant to be a huge twist but it ends in somewhat confusion (not with the plot but why it ever happened to begin with).
After watching the movie I came out of it with nothing, the story and direction made it seem like a waste of time, not really an enjoyable experience. That is why it's a 3/10 for a movie with a script that could possibly pull off a 6/10 with better editing and a tighter finish.
