Ok
I must be honest I never actually watched the whole of this
Movie. I just couldn't suffer it. After about half an hour
of absolute tedium I HAD to stop watching. I couldn't even
get to sleep while watching it it was just that bad.
"Starring"
(not a word you could exactly use to describe this movie)
Griffin Dunne it tells the story of thirty somethings bored
with their partners and whining about it. And boy do they
whine.
Now
most Movies at least start out to show some interest and colour
in their characters. Oh No, not this one they get going with
the whining straight away. One character's husband hasn't
came home in 3 days so she calls some friends. But which one
of the friends does she speak to, the woman ? oh no she has
to speak to the man. Like eh? Has this ever happened in the
entire history of the human race.
Well
do the couple not fall out over the rubbish advice he gives
to the upset friend (who called at 2AM by the way) so they
get all romantic. Well does he not go out into the garden
and pick rose petals to strew all over the bed. Oh how romantic.
An
but it gets better. The door bell rings just as they get started
doing what couples are supposed to do in bed. Guess who is
at the door. Yes its the upset friends husband. But even better
he has a bit of stuff with him and he wants to stay the night
at their house so he can have his wicked way with the bit
of stuff.
Would
you let him stay , would you heckerslike.
What
really makes it utterly boring is the dialogue, it is so strained
and stilted and plays almost like they have read it off of
autocues it was so hammy.
At
that point in the Movie it was really starting to annoy me
big time so I had to switch over. I had absolutely no interest
in watching anymore of it. Shame as far as I know this was
the first appearance by Gina Gershon in a Movie.
If
anyone has managed to sit through the rest of it please let
me know. I would love to find out if it got any better. I
dont hold out much hope though......
