An average movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved and since it was directed by David Gordon Green, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I was actually rather surprised by how little I cared about the damned thing after all. I mean, the directing was solid and the actors involved were pretty good and I was above all impressed by Kate Beckinsale who delivered here easily her best performance so far and, yet, the whole thing never grabbed me. The issue, I guess, was mostly with its story. Basically, I was dealing with a bunch of average characters living in an average town and, except for two really tragic events, nothing really noteworthy happened though the whole duration so I had a rather hard time to care about what these characters were going through. I mean, sure,  Michael Angarano and Olivia Thirlby made a cute couple together and I understand the parallel they made with the relationship of Sam Rockwell's and Kate Beckinsale's characters as their own relationship probably started the same way but, once again, it was never really interesting. Anyway, to conclude, I still struggle with David Gordon Green's work but even if this movie was rather disappointing, I still think it is worth a look.
