The cast are the drawing power, and the only real reason to stick around if you ask me. I mean, Alicia Silverstone, Krysten Ritter, Dan Stevens, Wallace Shawn, Sigourney Weaver...what's not to love there? It's just a shame the movie comes out feeling like a straight-to-DVD movie, or a mid-80s TV movie, because there's some good potential here aside from the cast.
There's a decent enough story here, and some really good performances, it just doesn't ever really rise above midday-movie level, even with the cast and crew it has. I'm also kinda disappointed because I watched this based on having found it on a list someone did up of "movies you don't expect to be sad, but are kinda sad" and...it wasn't sad at all to me. Unless you count the wasted talent, and the dismal box office returns of ~US$4000 on a US$16m budget...
Still, it's worth watching if you have nothing better to do?
