This may be the worst movie (on DVD) I've seen this year

Parker Posey is an attractive woman, even though she looks a little wilted here. I know every time I got a glimpse of her underclothes I got a little male juice boost - interesting since I'm easily her father's age. She has an engaging manner that makes watching her reactions very pleasurable. And Saffron Burrows is another one of those seemingly impossible women who actually have to struggle with being a little overly perfected. I remember her big scene with a crazed shark in the Deep Blue Sea fondly - I watched it several times. But despite these beauties, and Jeff Glodblum being his usual inexplicable self, this film is almost a total waste of time. The plot is mush and even insulting. The talent is definitely there, but the script and apparently the direction is completely AWOL. Watch only if you intend to read a book while glancing at it on occasion.
