4/10
Cliché, cliché, cliché
25 February 2013
A totally predictable movie with a whole lot of fake emotion. Worth watching if you are a big fan of Kevin Kline or Kristan Scott Thomas. Movie starts out poorly with an unbelievable suicide attempt, and gets worse from there. The tone of the movie is all wrong, the music making it more so.

I wish Kevin Kline could get better parts. His talent dwarfs this slick piece of Hollywood hokum. Same goes for Kristan Scott Thomas, although she seems to find good roles in European films.

Certainly, the movie has some humor that rises above most Hollywood fare, but it can't save the movie from its phony and contrived emotional content.

Here's hoping that Kevin Kline and Thomas get roles worthy of their talent.
