The story of a composer with composer's block, his psychotic wife who wants to become a nun, a tug boat captain who loves everyone...including the composer, an egotistical father, and a teen couple trying to evade the law.
What could go wrong?
I didn't like this at first as it starts a little flat, and I wasn't sure where it was going, or what is was about. Hathaway and Dinklage's performances were average, and it wasn't until Tomei playing the tug boat captain came on scene that the film brightened considerably.
The young couple had little chemistry but luckily they didn't really need it, and Harlow Jane played a fabulous part anyway.
As the plot thickened I began to imagine the characters as Disneyesque characters in a fairy tale. And I realised that that is what this film is. It's a modern day, live action fairy tale. Once you realised that, the film is much more enjoyable and like all fairy tales the happy ending left me content and glad that I watched it through.
Started as a 3 and leapt into a 6, the tug boat and it's captain is just genius.
