Ancient script. Man needs the physical stuff. Man hires dancer or prostitute. Man falls in love with her. Man in crisis mode.
This movie lacks a bundle on the character development's front. And the passion between Richard and Flo doesn't really fly. The elements are there to make a good movie, but Wayne Wang seems to be unable to put the magic touch to it.
Molly Parker and Peter Sarsgaard are doing a fine job as Flo and Richard.
You can easily skip this one.
Out of 100, I gave it 73. That's good for **½ out of ****.
