User Reviews

Someone take away Matthew Wilder's license to direct

The first two reviews have it right but don't go far enough. The main problem is the writing and directing. Bill Pullman is good, as good as he can be with such a poorly written character. And the alternate realities, as the first review noted, never feel real. These two problems belong to Matthew Wilder, the film's writer and director, who does such a bad job with both I can only dream about how good a film like this might have been had a competent hand been in control.

A part of Wilder's problem is the whole film seems in love with its own cleverness, a problem usually reserved for self-conscious adolescents and first year film students. I have no idea how old Wilder is but he writes and directs like a teenager. I see that his next project is about Linda Lovelace. Oh Lord, you just know he's going to make it the most pretentious, self conscious "edgy" movie ever made. Too bad. I see it has Lindsay Lohan and whatever you may think of her she does have talent and acting chops when guided by the right director. Unfortunately that's not Matt Wilder.

Please, someone take away Wilder's license to direct before he does any more damage.
