Modernist psychodrama nonsense

Rating: 5/10 (22 October 2010)

It felt like a wasted 2 hours. It was not entertaining, thought-provoking, up-lifting, powerful or exemplary... Just modernist psycho-drama, with characters that you mostly do not admire or identify with.
While the premise had promise (sorry), and the raw acting talent was high, the screenplay was abysmal, and as shallow as the Styrofoam cut-out engaged couple whose image was photographed in cheesy locations across the continent. (This is 2009 -- why not just make your pretend holiday with stock photos and PhotoShop?)
The "counsel the groom" scene was simply cringe-worthy.
There were few laughs, a few moments of sympathy -- but I was left feeling "how shallow!".
