Should have flushed out a few more characters & general thoughts
16 January 2007
I really wished they had flushed out joy bryant's character, Sheila, more. She was the assistant having an affair with bill paxton's character. we just got a glimpse of it. also they should have flushed out Patrick's (lee ingleby) character more. He was Shy (orlando) British friend. We saw that he had homosexual tendencies and cared for Shy. Andrea kind of called him out on that in the car and we saw him try to kiss Shy on the dock in the end but that was it. We don't know much more about him. I think they would have both proved to be interesting subplots but maybe the movie was too full already with multiple story lines. i think the movie was an okay film, interesting, intriguing and certainly different but it fell short in a few areas, became to cliché at times and too shallow at others (as a west Indian girl, let me tell you their accents were HORRIBLE). i wish it was a bit more well thought out but i absolutely loved the dramatic/sad ending. too much Hollywood glitz and glamor out now a days. it was nice to see that someone in Hollywood actually believed the layman viewer could appreciate something more than fairytale endings and delusional "happy" love. bravo! all in all, i say give frank flowers a break. the movie was okay. what do ya'll think? agree? disagree?
