Movie Review Monday
This weekend the man man and I went to see No Reservations. The movie was a huge disappointment. Now, I gathered from the previews (which did a really good job at making you want to go see the movie) that this was going to be a sad movie, but with the happy little twist of love to make it all okay. I caught myself through the whole movie hoping that it would get better. Hoping that each scene would be the turning point of the movie, hoping that I would get some enjoyment out of this film. No. The characters were fully under developed. And the little girl (I think she's from Little Miss Sunshine) was completely unbelievable. But none of really made any sense - mostly because of the poor development of characters. You got bits and pieces - but not enough to make a strong connection of the character to their motivations to their emotions. No good. A complete waste of two hours of my life that I will never get back.

Just thought i'd offer some helpful advise:
a while ago i got tired of going expecting to see at the very least a film that could keep me awake if not entertained for at least an hour or so. SO i decided to only go and see a clever combination of art-house/independent/foreign films. turns out the vast majority (if you see one once a week as i did) are AWFUL!.. really arm knawingly bad. but eventually you find a film that IS really good, the combination of making this discovery AND finally seeing a good movie after so long makes it so much more enjoyable.
(I enjoyed reading your blog by the way)
you are my new favorite person of all time
I just wished they had cooked up a good movie, but at least the food looked good :) And you're right, this one completely blew. If we had seen it at the $1.50 movies, it would have been $1.49 too much.
