Gideon, the mystery man, famous PR guy that everyone bows down to; his only weakness his daughter, ok, we get the point. He is sick of fame and yearns for the simple life. And finds it with Miranda Richardson, a badly dressed hippie type with twinkling lights in her bedroom. Unfortunately, every character in this story is annoying, except maybe the daughter, she is sullen and not talkative, which probably redeems her because not given the chance to be annoying. The narrator -- what is his function? To underline the obvious? This movie tried hard to be meaningful and moving but failed miserably. By the end, I really didn't care what happened to the daughter, that's how boring this movie was.
