Boring Boring Boring

Those three words are the only way I can describe this movie. This movie was supposed to be about lesbians? where was the kissing etc? Kelly Lynch is fabulous in the Showtime series "The L Word" as Ivan so I expected to see her playing a believable lesbian. This was not the case with this character. The Baldwin brother had a look on his face the whole movie like he was half asleep. The script was predictable and anticlimactic. Soundtrack was okay (thanks Joe Jackson). If you have insomnia, watch this, you'll fall asleep. I tried to give this movie a chance, almost turned it off after 50 min, but I stuck it out hoping it would get better. It didn't. Don't waste your time on this flop.
