With this splendid cast, it should have been much better. The plot is a very thin veneer, the writing dull and feckless. I kept waiting to like or hate even one of the characters but that never happened. Given some meatier writing, this wonderful cast could have really shown, and of course, Marisa Tomei was the 'frustrated buddy.' Wow, she must be SO tired of that role! The scenery was nice, New York is a wonderful backdrop for any film. Production design perhaps was the best part of this film. The two characters with any depth was the sister (Catherine Dent) and her husband, Peter Friedman and they were fleeting. The single plot twist was thrown under a bus and I didn't even care by that time. I give it a 2 out of 10. Watching them all sleepwalking through this tired plot was almost painful.
