What am I missing? Great actors are in this movie so they must see something excellent in it. I do not. Brian Cox (recently brilliant as Langrische on Deadwood), Annette Bening, Alec Baldwin, Jill Clayburgh among them.
Forget the obtrusive and self-conscious music.
This movie was about 2 hours long which is about 90 minutes longer than necessary. After a while, it just drags.
It is a movie about people who are amoral, dishonest, destructive, self-destructive, self- indulgent. And stupid.Why would anyone care?
I had seen it referred to as a "pychological thriller" and also as a "comedy." It had a few funny scenes. And the actors did take it seriously.
One odd thing: Young actor Joe Cross is a dead-ringer for actor Tim Robbins. So I assumed he was Tim's and Susan's son. Per info on the Web, he is not. But he IS a visual clone of Tim.
