An average movie

To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since there was a nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned out to be terribly messy and half-baked after all. It was supposed to be Alec Baldwin's directing debut but, apparently, they didn't have any money left for the post-production and when it was taken over, according to Baldwin, it was extensively re-edited and it no longer bears any resemblance to what it was actually supposed to be. Maybe it might then explain the weird changes of tonality. Indeed, it basically starts like an outdated 80's comedy even with the typical cheesy soundtrack , then it became something more surreal and, finally, it ended up on some deep and theological notes. Still, to be honest, I highly doubt that this editing really ruined this flick. I mean, maybe it made it worse but I don't think the whole thing was really good to start with. For example, another thing that really bothered me was how poor the acting was and the worst of them all might have been Jennifer Love Hewitt. Indeed, back then, she must have been around 20 years old and she did look really charming, I'll give you that, but her acting was rather cringe-inducing. To conclude, there might have been a good movie there hidden somewhere but the whole thing was just really weak, I think I'm being actually generous with my rating here, and it is definitely not worth a look.
