My suggestion (my wife concurs): Watch the come-ons a couple of times. You will see the best parts of the movie, and you won't be disappointed. This could have been a good movie, but there just wasn't much there (gee, sounds like Random Hearts!).
Not that the acting was bad. Sarandon & Portman did well. They just didn't have much to work with. The plot was thin and there were huge holes in the story line.
Example: Portman is embarrassed by her mother, but sees nothing wrong with bringing friends and what part of the movie did she make friends? home to their crappy apartment that is in, supposedly, a cheap part of Beverly Hills. It leaves you wondering how much of this movie was left on the cutting room floor.
Three out of ten. Check it out on video if desperate.
