I'm surprised a thread doesn't exist for this yet (now watch there is one I didn't find 12 pages long).
I like everything about the movie except for the writing. Which means, in the end, I don't like it.
SPOILERS BELOW:
It was turning out to be quite a lovely film until the relationship switch. So unrealistic. Makes the whole movie bizzarre. Like "WHAT AM I WATCHING??"
Otherwise a lovely film.
And why the hell is Diane Keaton getting Oscar buzz for this? It's an average joe schmoe role. Who cares!! in the end. I'd even nominate Rosario Dawson over her.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 12/19/05 at 2:36amI'm excited for the writer/director Thomas Bezucha, who wrote and directed the glorious Big Eden. Fantastic for him to have moved from a very low budget independent gay niche film to a major Hollywood studio movie. I look forward to seeing this one!

Posted: 12/19/05 at 10:25amIt was actually better than I thought it would be. Although I thought that the more serious and more dramatic moments worked better than the comedy, which often felt a bit forced and distanced me from the characters.

Posted: 12/19/05 at 10:29amThis is one of those instances wherein I want to see a move solely for the cast involved - and the story looks ok, but mostly, I just love Sara Jessica, Diane Keaton, and Rachel McAdams (sp?)...hope it won't be a waste of money.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!
