Music From Another Room

Jude Law, Gretchen Mol

Poor attempt at a romantic comedy. The film started with an extended birth sequence which established the plot but was so asinine it set the wrong tone immediately and the film never recovered.

The humor wasn't funny...or even amusing...it just struck me as dumb. The various characters all had idiosyncratic little traits or tics to make them interesting...but they weren't. I marvel at how you can waste such a talented cast...Brenda Blythen, Martha Plimpton, Jennifer Tilly et al. But they have to read good lines and if that's missing you end up with something like this.

Too bad.
