I`ve never understood the concept of lonely hearts columns . Yeah sure we all get lonely but that`s part of the human condition . When I`m drowning in a sea of lonliness I just plug in my collection of Pink Floyd and The The tracks and pretend that Roger Waters and Matt Johnson are writing lyrics about me personally , vanity is preferable than desperation , and common sense dictates that anyone putting an ad in a lonely hearts column is gotta be desperate not to mention asthetically challenged . Have I made my point ? Good because anyone in a film who writes a reply to somebody in a lonely hearts column deserves all they get .
And that`s the problem I had with SWEETHEARTS . Arliss writes a reply to Jasmine after seeing her ad . Dear oh dear , obviously cinema isn`t one of Arliss interests otherwise he`d realise he`s going to be getting himself into a whole lot of trouble . That said SWEETHEARTS isn`t one of those cliched characters from hell movies seen in the early 1990s ( Did Hollywood do a lonely heart from hell ? ) it`s a low budget independant black comedy , but that doesn`t mean it`s a good film . It`s very static , talkative and unconvincing . But worst of all it`s badly lit . I`ve heard of " dark " comedies but this is ridiculous
GSHO ?
