Excellent Acting with an "alright" story
3 August 2010
I saw the movie last night and can honestly say I enjoyed it. I had a lot on my mind, but the engrossing acting and the interesting story kept me hooked, but it still wasn't what it could have been. Many of the characters were poorly developed and there were some minor plots that were also undeveloped. I came out of the theater realizing that if the movie hadn't had the phenomenal actors in it, it would have been nothing above mediocre, but Annette Benning, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo kept it interesting.

With all the critics raving, I was a little disappointed. It's not as funny as I expected, but still had some cute parts. It's not really a "feel-good" film either. However, the quirkiness of the film, and the acting makes it worth a watch and it's definitely still better than some of the trash out there.
