3/10
Irritating and repetitive
7 February 2003
Warning: Spoilers
*Minor SPOILERS*

I felt like everything kept repeating itself in different locations. It got a little boring. Natalie Portman kept the same facial expressions throughout the film, and really lacked the emotion needed.

The characters were a bit too distant as well. I know everything revolved around Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman, but the other people just kept popping in and out of the story. Especially the "almost too nice" guy. He looked as if he would have a relevant part in the plot, but he just said he'd love to take Natalie Portman out to see some fish spawning thing, and we eventually find out later that he invited Susan Sarandon to Vegas. That was it. He wasn't mentioned at all in the rest of the film.

I think that just with those two things, the fact that the acting was just okay (even Sarandon - who is usually phenomenal), and the feel-good ending made into a mediocre movie that isn't really worth much higher than a 3. (In my opinion at least, whatever that's worth.)
