SPOILERS Ok, let’s just get it out there in the open, Blythe Danner can do no wrong in my eyes. She’s fab. So how come Gwyneth drives me nuts? Zack Braff on the other hand drives me crazy. No I don’t think he’s funny, cute, quirky, any of that. So surprise surprise if I don’t really sympathize with his character at all. Oh, I have a gorgeous girlfriend, a great job and awesome friends, but I am so broken up inside…I deserve more. My life is already so hard to bear, I think I’ll just create MORE drama by sleeping with some random 20 year old floutist that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever other than the fact that she’s easy and she aggressively pursues me while my girlfriend is about to go into the second trimester of her pregnancy.
What’s really sad about this movie is that it’s a tale as old as time, yet somehow we need to keep repeating it, because everyone seems to think their circumstance is different, and they’re experiencing a pain that no one else could POSSIBLY understand. I don’t really have any complaints about the actual quality of the production. Just don’t expect it to be new information, and you’ll do fine.
