Bad movie, but with saving graces, 6 August 2006
3/10
Author: Peter from Copenhagen, Denmark

Someone must have had a fun time thinking up the plot of this little flick, which turned up on Danish TV recently. That someone must have felt that since there was no other good reason to make this film, he might as well set the story in Hollywood and have the characters be an unemployed actor and a lonely agent with nothing better to do than fall in love with her clients. I wonder if the filmmakers were possibly unemployed themselves at the time, which would be a marvelous twist. In any case, if they had had anything better to do, I doubt they would have made this movie.

A man with bills to pay discovers thousands, then millions of dollars mistakenly deposited into his bank account. He decides to tell his bank. The film could have ended here, but of course the line is too long at the bank, so he ends up spending the money instead. What follows is a thoroughly inexplicable chain of events with a plot twist of the sort that you really shouldn't think about too much. In the film's most clever development, the concept of acting takes center stage in the plot's resolution when all comes down to who can pull off the best performance.

Along with decent acting, especially by Leslie Hope as the attractive but cold lover and Patricia Clarkson as the shy but warm friend, these meta elements are saving graces of an otherwise lukewarm and unattractive production.
