Miscasting Uma Thurman, Good Ending
Uma Thurman is someone who fits the role she had in movies like Gattaca, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction,etc. perfectly. To give her a role where there is this remote "weak" impulse of an instinct instigated would render her ineffective. She just cannot seem like someone who would end up emoting powerless. Yet, I think she did a good job in this film only when she is not speaking dialogues. I loved the ending of the film and that was a saving grace. I laughed out loud at the cake scene in the beginning and thought it was hilarious. Meryl Streep is like a flaky version of a bad actress. My comprehension weakens to explain how ineffective she is as a comedian. Nothing personal against her. I liked the male lead and think he was smooth and kept it real. This is most definitely a good film to watch on HBO, not even worth renting on dvd.Cheers
