: London
Now this is a terrible movie. First, the plot is so threadbare it’s ridiculous: a guy finds out his old girlfriend is moving away without telling him and he crashes her going-away party to say good-bye. That’s it. Nothing else happens except for angst and bitching and flashbacks of the same. The climax — yes, I will “spoil” it for you — is the guy finally having the “courage” to say the words, “I love you” to his ex-girl friend, words he couldn’t say while they were together (he wrote them on her shoulder but couldn’t say them). How lame is that?
Second, the creators are obviously pseduo-intellectuals who wanted so bad to make an “intelligent” movie that the script is filled with inane conversations and dribble about God and the universe and stuff that is supposed to sound smart yet comes across as either pretentious or dumb.
Third, the characters are all such losers — drug-sniffing alcoholics who swear and fight and wear their misery for all the world to see — that you can barely stand to watch them, let alone care about them or figure out how in the world they ended up together.
Finally, the cast, while gorgeous and young, are absolutely horrible actors, at least with this material. The fights and shouting feels staged, the anger comes across as random and pointless — even the love-making is awkward it makes you go “Huh?” Just a terrible, terrible movie. Stay away, very far away.
