I channel surfed onto this. I thought it was going to be good due the seasoned actors. But yeah: Kristin Davis is too old for the part. No, it's not the way she looks. It's not that older people can't fall in love (loved Betty White & Leslie Nielsen in their romantic comedy!) it's that Kristin Davis, much like Britney Spears, is stuck in teenage mode and making the faces that worked for her in SATC. Her face looks bizarre trying to pull them off.
Not just because of the deep lines below her eyes making her tired and her crepey forehead but because she KNOWS she's too old for the part and she knows she's TOO OLD TO PLAY INGENUE and yet, that's what she gives us. Why can't she adapt her behavior, her demeanor and her personality to go along with her aged face? THAT is the problem. So there's incongruence between the way she looks and the way she acts. And the fact that she knows it means she projects awkwardness, but not cute character awkwardness. She projects self-consciousness.
Then the other problem I'm having is having seen the very graphic pix of her deepest most private self that she took and uploaded online for the world to see. They were linked right here, back when they were forums and I had no idea what I was clicking and there you go! I can't believe she's shown her face on TV ever since that fiasco! She should have retired early. And then there's the guy: he's typecast as per his own previous role and personal inclings. Hard to believe him interested in a woman. He's trying to kiss her now and he looks like he's bracing to suck on a tube of anchovy-flavored toothpaste. It just doesn't work!
Poor casting. Then there's living corpse, MacLaine. Didn't she die way back when? Mandela Effect? Well anyway. This channel makes hokey movies. There's a market for that. But for goodness sakes, can't they hire a capable casting director?! That's who I blame for this fiasco. Three extremely oversexed leads trying to play meek: it doesn't work because we know exactly what you are and what you've done. Oversharing? Check check check! (1 wrote a book, 1 posted her own images and the other prefers men!) And somewhere in there, there's an annoying kid! (Someone ought to have told "Charlotte" she wasn't it!)
Skip this one, it would have worked so much better with better cast leads. 4 stars for the costumer, cinematographer, location lead and the props master.
