An average movie

Honestly, I had no idead what to expect from this flick and I watched it above all because the late Philip Seymour Hoffman was involved. Eventually, even though Hoffman was, as usual, very good, unfortunately, he had only a small part. So, that was slightly disappointing and, a part from that, I was not really captivated by the story. Apparently, this movie was a big success when displayed at the Sundance Film Festival and a bidding war among studio distributors resulted in Miramax Films paying $6 million for the film's North American distribution rights but it turned out to be a flop at the box-office after all. To be honest, even though it was nothing really amazing, I thought it was not bad but it was missing something to become really interesting or entertaining. At least, it was quite interesting to have Hope Davis playing the lead for once and even though Davis might not be the greatest actress in the world, I think she is one of the very few women in the world who can be just as convincing playing a plain looking chick or a real sex-bomb. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing great, I think it is still a decent indie feature and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
