Sundance Viewing

Truthfully, I had high hopes for this film. I really did. I got to see it with a large audience and there are some great moments in it but it doesn't add up. I think the actors were really good but I expected more. The idea alone seems so risqué I think they could have done more with it. Instead they seemed to have taken the low road. I'm not sure if it was the script or the directing, but it didn't really make me feel much of anything. Other films I saw at Sundance caused me to think, to cry, to laugh, to be furious but this one left me blank. On a great note I did love the actors and respect them for charting dangerous waters. They are commendable performances by two of my favorite actors.
