Blind Date

w/d Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson

This must have seemed like a good idea sitting around the kitchen table. An estranged married couple try to deal with their problems by placing personals ads and meeting each other as they play out the roles they have chosen.

In practice though it came across as sterile, arch...an actor's vanity project. I couldn't fault the players...both are too skilled...the concept just didn't work for me. Using the same location every time hurt...made it seem like an acting exercise.
