The hubby and I were having date night in our new neighborhood. We moved to the arts distract of North Hollywood to be closer to his new job and decided to see a movie. We didn't realize there was some kind of event going on where people were showing their movies but tickets were for sale and there wasn't any of the big commercial films out that looked that good so after looking up a couple people in the film we decided to support small filmmakers and the creative community we moved into. I didn't see the reviews on my phone and didn't know there were reviews until looking up another film on my laptop now. On my iphone it seemed like it couldn't be that bad, the main guy was in Shameless and Black Sails and Robert Loggia was in it and the lady from 3's Company. I figured it would be a cute little film made for a little bit of money. We were so wrong. This is an awful movie that we tried very hard to stay as long as possible hoping it would get better but it only got worse. The concept was immature and made no sense and the dialogue was preposterous. The acting was worse than a school play with the worst being Joyce DeWitt who seemed lost and out of her element and Angela Gots who was simply mindbogglingly BAD. Watching Angela play with this box and her daddy issues that came off neither genuine nor sentimental and trying to act supportive to her boyfriend and then telling him they should just sell the photo to her getting suspicious and investigating his past is akin to water torture, completely inhumane to endure. Some of the smaller roles were very bad too. The grungy looking girl with the fishnets made no sense, a 30 year old with a daughter and her boyfriend, the girl in the camera shop, the gay guy. Just terrible. Cliché would be too kind of a description. This was worse than cliché, much worse. I've been to school plays better put together. After we couldn't take it any longer we left before it ended. I am not sure how much longer there was left but we had enough. My husband actually asked for his money back on the way out!
