Film Tries Too Hard To Just Be Itself, And Is Somewhat Shallow
by Solaris
The acting was stellar, and the casting is what enticed me to buy it. The male actors are HOT, HOT, HOT mofo's! I think the film visually had an attraction for me also. BUT. I wanted more depth and meaning in the characters and story. The character dialogue was shallow, and the story just kinda moved along without really letting you in on any real revelation. This movie had potential though. I think that if the director had spent a longer time on the actors' expressions and improvised acting, perhaps he could have done something different with the film. To tell you the truth, the film felt kinda empty. And, well, I like feeling empty sometimes.
5/5
Purple Violets
by D. Spell
I don't know how this movie did at the theatre but I really like it. The story line, the actors, and the timeline makes this a story that we can all relate to. Plus the music is awesome, I am in my 40's and can watch this movie over and over.
2/5
Didn't work
by M. Carr (Virginia)
I want Ed Burns to continue to succeed as a director. I grew up in the town next to him, also had a police officer for a dad, went to Mets games, too, and so I LOVE how he loves Long Island and NYC. Like Woody Allen, his movies strive to capture that elusive atmosphere that shows you what it is that is so wonderful about NYC.
Part of what is great about NYC are its' people, straight-talking, no BS, sometimes bordering on rude and crazy, but wonderful and unique, and missed whenever you leave the place. I think that is what Mr. Burns is trying to show with his character movies (Brothers McMullen, She's the One) , but this one didn't work. I thought Selma Blair was awful, Debra Messing was under-utilized and the best of the crew, and the other actors were mediocre at best. Ed Burns' character was real, but flat. This movie could have been saved by great acting, or, as Woody Allen knows, some comedy thrown in.
I wish him success with his next movie because he is a ballsy NY-er who isn't afraid to go for it.
5/5
Another great Ed Burns film
by m1shell (Milwaukee, WI)
If you're familiar with Ed Burns' films and generally like them, you'll like this one. The dialogues are rich and real-life (always a good thing) and a welcome change from the normal Hollywood-treat-me-like-I'm-a-ten-year-old type movies. I enjoyed the style of filming especially in the few sections where there's a lot said and expressed without dialogue. It isn't a true chick flick film...even my husband enjoyed it (which is saying a lot). Overall A+ and a must buy.
5/5
Sometimes there is a second chance
by tea lover (Wellfleet, MA USA)
Written by, produced by, directed by, and starring Edward Burns, one has to believe that Burns' soul is in this film. But, for a man, this is all about Selma Blair.
This is a story of second chances, and how, through determination, perseverance, understanding, and love, we can sometimes make better choices than the first time round, and arrive at better outcomes. But it's never easy. Nothing that matters is easy.
The soundtrack is a series of mood pieces, and is very beautiful and soul stirring. The characters are irreverant, needful, full of potential, always earnest (the main ones are!), and in the end triumphant (again, the ones we care about are). All the aching sadness along the way leads to a glorious and inspiring end.
Selma Blair has a breakout role. Her acting is inspired, captivating, and stunningly good. She is a brilliant sunburst of energy. If there is any justice, this role will mark the point where she emerges as a brilliant and mature actress and embarks on a long and honored career.
