Rating: 1.0
TERRIBLE MOVIE -- NO PLOT. NOT A CHICK FLICK.
This movie is absolutely terrible, full of stereotypes and a BIG, unromantic, time waster. A chic flick? If lesbian couples (one is pregnant by a sperm donor) being presented as normal Americana, promiscuous sex with strangers, gay tours of Italy (with lots of gay men running around at the beginning)seems romantic to you-- Then you'll love this movie. If you're a more traditional, the type that is mocked by Hollywood, then AVOID THIS MOVIE. The director seemed to be more interested in espousing her political views VS. crafting a well constructed, properly structured story. When will Hollywood figure out they are alienating a good portion of America with these liberal ideals? <P(...)Can you say "convoluted". Can you say "cliche".Diane Lane looks great for a 45 year old woman.And the chunk-headed pregnant lesbian is a really obnoxious character that I think was a bad casting choice-- Particularly during the opening party scene. An unsympathetic character to say the least. The trembling construction guy was much more endearing.Buy the film with Keanu Reeves picking grapes in Italy instead-- It's a lot better!
