OK but not much more, tried too hard — 36 weeks ago

“Alternative. Alternative. I’ve gotta be alternative and still appeal to people who don’t know who Dario Argento is. Do like ‘Garden State’ crossed with ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ except for the horror being switched for quick comedy. I can’t believe I just thought of Polanski and not Troma or something just as alternative and/or cool!” I guess those were the words of the scriptwriter. This film is fair, brings a couple of laughs and is quite coherent, and apart from the odd good music there’s not that much laudable in this box; I can’t get over the feeling that the film-makers have tried too hard to make this film feel all fresh, so much that they kind of overlooked the factor that made Ricky Fitts the great character he was in “American Beauty”. Watch “L’Avventura” again, I say.
