this be a movie i really want to like . not only be it film in portland and or where i live and but i be also an extra in it . so and i go into the movie theater expect a film that be if at least not award worthy and be a thought provoking and well make picture . plus and it have greg kinnear and morgan freeman both oscar winner what could go wrong . everything . i have not read the book on which this be base and but i can not imagine it have the simplistic and contrive and and corny plot that the movie contain . the pacing be so painfully slow and quiet and i could hear our crowded theater strain in their seat to stay awake during the long shot of greg kinnear glossy eye try to convey his disbelief at why another woman have leave him ( dude maybe it be you . ) even hard to explain be why the director felt it be necessary to have so many sex scene . feast of flesh would have be a good title . didn not gratuitous nudity go out of style after basic instinct . i like a passionate love scene as much a the next and but when you have every sexual encounter involve the woman grind away on top of the man ( who of course isn not show any of his private part . ) it become very tacky and cheap . okay rhada mitchell be hot and we get it . can she have a conversation with a bra on at least . nudity do not convey intimacy emotion convey intimacy . so and if you want to bore senseless for long stretch of time and by all mean see this movie . you can then decide if this movie suffer from represent 1. a lack of music or score ( i could have hear a pin drop at time ) and 2. try to mish mash multiple plot line poorly and 3. not develop character enough so we do not connect or relate and or 4. theme about the mystery of love be a very cliché and tired concept . this movie do not prove a thing about the wonder of love just because the girl know her boyfriend would die but marry him anyway be probably the 100th movie to do this ( see love story and die young and or my life ) . i get what the director be try to show u and but it wasn not original and do not explore anything new and or move me . all this movie prove be that good director can make bad movie .
