The New Eve (1999)
2/10
a film as incompetent and self-absorbed as its heroine
8 July 2008
Pathetic and annoying fantasy that is supposed to charm you with it's tale of a whimsical, carefree heroine looking for love. Unfortunately for the film, Eve varies from obnoxious to despicable -- she's vain, arrogant, self-absorbed and nowhere near as attractive or interesting as the movie seems to think she is. Even worse, the movie has no idea who she is or what to do with her. The character and her motivations change from scene to scene and even from shot to shot, purely to meet the half-baked demands of the screenplay. The film even manages to make the endless scenes of glamorous Parisian bohemianism tedious and pedestrian -- kind of a middle-school fantasy of what it would be like to be living that life.
