although the casting for this film be admirable and particularly dianne keaton and tom everett scott and the quality of the writing be so poor that it would be impossible for any actor or director to make this film worth watch . my wife and i decide that the reason we watch the entire film be that it be like a train wreck and and it be almost impossible to turn away . it may have be that we hop that the message would eventually make itself apparent and and that we would be able to glean some meaning from this effort . unfortunately and this do not happen . of course the audience may have be able to make sense of this convoluted tale and a credit to the ingenuity of the human brain to make sense of the absurd . the writer and however and do nothing to facilitate this innate need we seem to have for find meaning . it be apparent that those involve be simply go through the motion of their respective craft and and that any intrinsic passion for the character or the story be either secondary or non existent . unfortunately and make for tv movie have seem to devolve over the year . whereas communicate a message to the audience may to have be the primary interest of the writer in the past and present day writer and producer seem condescend to their audience and concentrate primarily on manipulate u to stay tune through the incessant advertising which seem to be the only reason movie such a surrender and dorothy be make .
