The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
John Harmon Feldman, the director of this movie that we saw recently on cable, shows he can create a movie in which he has a point of view about modern relationships. In this case, Mr. Feldman concentrates in what appears to be a Los Angeles university. He shows a slice of the campus life as the young people get in love, and then they as they fail mercilessly by their new partners.The director, who also wrote the screenplay, presents us with a merry go round of relationships that, at the beginning appear to be solid, but obviously, they didn't have a chance to survive and we watch how almost all of them disolve.The best vignette in the film involves an older professor who likes a young woman that is living with an insufferable bore. Bruce Davidson, as the older man, and Sherilyn Fenn, is the girl who he is trying to win over, although he realizes his limitations. When this young woman is dumped, she realizes her happiness lies with the professor, who is mature enough to share his life with her. Both Mr. Davidson, and Ms. Fenn are a delight to watch.The rest of the cast is young and attractive. Saffron Burrows, Carla Gugino, John Tenney, Matt Letscher, all make great contributions to the movie.Although some comments in this forum are negative, the film is much better than other highly praised ones. Give it a chance to win you over.
This has GOT to be one of the absolute WORST movies I've seen in a very long time. It uses every cliche in the book. I was bored right from the start, and I usually enjoy romantic comedies like this. I feel truly sorry for the actors/actresses who now have this film on their resume. They are all talented, but they had nothing to work with - the script and the directing were AWFUL! Save your money and rent something, ANYTHING else!
An entertaining and insightful evaluation of love, both lost and found. Rang true from start to finish. There was not a false moment to be found. This was due in large part to an intelligent script which was superbly acted with highly believable characters. A wonderful slice of life film that continuously hits the mark and never goes over the top. **** out of *****
Well, I thought that the film was very sincere and realistic. It did a very good job of eloquently expressing a few relationship situations. The cast did a great job at drawing me in. All the characters were believable and the writing was very heartfelt. I specially like Carla Gugino's character, Amy. I wish I knew someone like that.
