That was an excellent one.

Brilliant and touching

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is so bad, but not bad enough to be an awful classic, loved for it assertive ineptness combined with lack of shame. Totally wooden acting and dialog. A snorer. Tough talk is totally wimpy. Characters interactions are theoretic, but not real. Tones of voice are right out of the worst soap operas. If you want a catalog of clichés and dead phrases, take notes. This is not how people faces tough times talk. The sarcasm sounds Valley Girl. "Facile" is a word one of the characters uses. It's a good word for this production. Maybe the awful dialog would sound more engaging if the acting were better. But the acting is unbelievably bad.
