As a John Cassavetes fan this movie then called She's DeLovely has always fascinated as it was the last thing he was working on before he passed.Unfortunately the oversized ego of Sean Penn derailed the project and John passed away before he could get the project going.However his son Nick managed to get the project made and even managed to get Penn back on the production.However Nick proved what I have always suspected.That he isn't his father and didn't understand his father and is nowhere in his league which is why he re-wrote over half of it.That combined with the name change and you get She's So Lovely.A John Cassavetes film that is no longer a John Cassavetes film but is trying to be a John Cassavaetes film and failing.As I said Nick is not his father which is why the film feels butchered.You can feel bits of John in the movie but barely.But the biggest scam is that Nick put his father's name on the writing credits no doubt basking in the publicity of the son finishing his father's final project instead of having the courage to put his on name on there along side his father's with the credit based on an original script by John Cassavetes.As far as I am concerned this is not a John Cassavetes film.I would love to get a hold of the original script for this just to see what John really wrote but I doubt that will happen.
