The Oh in Ohio Reviews

To be honest, I had never heard of this flick before so I had no idea what to expect from the damned thing but since there was a nice cast involved, I thought I might check it out anyway. Eventually, I thought it was a weird movie but not really weird in a good way, I’m afraid. In fact, I thought it was really similar to 'American Beauty'. Basically, Paul Rudd and Parker Posey were standing in for Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening. Both couples went through some middle crisis and both couples went through some major changes in their lifes. Like Spacey’s character, Ruud’s character fell for an underaged girl but, this time around, with a really different outcome. However, whereas 'American Beauty' was sharp and thoughftful, this flick was rather unfocused and shallow. Seriously, during the whole thing, I had no clue where the movie was going. Eventually, I think the purpose of the whole thing was only to show some quirky characters involved in some quirky situations. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, since all the actors involved were actually pretty good, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
