Boring soft-core porn, 14 July 2007
4/10
Author: lastliberal from Florida

Boring, just plain boring. It's all I can really say and all that needs to be said.

Even the thought of seeing Meg Ryan in more than some cutesy romantic role was painful. This was just a boring story with some sex scenes and lots of pointless dirty talk sprinkled in. It moved through the system like a octopus stew.

Jane Campion needs to keep shining all those awards she got for The Piano, because if she does any more like this, it will be all she has to look at.

Mark Ruffalo? What a waste. And, what is with this guitar-playing detective? Don't they have work to do.

This was just a waste of film.
