Not her best effort
4 May 2008
Although I've heard a lot of gushing about the quality of this movie, I was very disappointed in the final result! I think Hunt was trying to duplicate the tone and tempo of "As Good as It Gets", but as when most people try to duplicate anything, there is failure. I think Helen should stick to acting and forget about directing. Matthew Broderick's character was miscast and he never figured out who he was or even what he was doing in the film. Colin Firth wasn't allowed to reveal his true nature either. Bette Midler, a monumental talent was just under-used. All points to poor direction in my book. The touching moments are a bit maudlin and the funny parts aren't that funny. You can skip this one and rent it on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
