Review of Camille

Camille (I) (2008)
5/10
ultimately an unlikeable couple
12 October 2013
Silas Parker (James Franco) is a petty criminal on parole. He can't leave the state, but his newly wed wife Camille Foster (Sienna Miller) insists on going to Niagara Falls for their honeymoon. Lucky for her, his parole officer (Scott Glenn) is her uncle. When they get into an accident on the road, the movie goes in a strange direction.

Silas is a moody guy frustrated with hyper-talkative Camille. He doesn't necessarily want to marry her, but her uncle wouldn't be too happy. They're just not a likable couple. Their fights do wear on the audience. She's hopelessly manic and romantic.

This is a movie where the story is trying to push it into quirkiness, and most of times it fails. Sienna Miller is pushing her comfort zone with this talkative wacky character. She doesn't always pull it off. James Franco needs to be more desperate. He could never get into that character.
