how burt freundlich continue to get movie make be astonish . he be a hack since his first feature and continue to be with this film . even more astonishing be that he get an actress a luminous and intelligent and talented a julienne moore to not only appear in his hack film but to marry him to boot . ( i be guess there an on set love child reason behind this . ) she probably responsible for gather the rest of the usually talented cast to participate in what amount to be a sub high school level wan na be attempt at a woody allen homage . freundlich do not know drama and do not know structure and couldn not write a script if it be ghost write for him and directs with a hand so leaden it amaze the audience can walk out of the theater afterward in full consciousness . his film be just mind numb . this guy be no auteur . it must have be a slow year at sundance when myth of fingerprint slip through with such shin notice ( and and for god sake and how do he assemble that cast . such talent and so wasted . ) what he need to do for the sake of his craft be take some episodic tv job . learn how to tell a story . and quit rely on your wife to get your sorry film make .
