The Making of 'Changing Lanes' (2002 Video) User Reviews

a mix of re-hashing the plot and ego-stroking

[movieman_kev · 2/10 · 28 June 2005]

This featurette thats 2 seconds shy of 15 minutes can be found on the DVD of "Changing Lanes", in it Ben Affleck, Samuel L. Jackson, Roger Michell, and Toni Collette pretty much just re-hash the basic premise of the film. Looking for something more, a glimmer of something that takes you beyond the movie? Well tough, because you won't find ANYthing new here. A complete waste of 15 minutes. However I'm STILL amazed that Ben Affleck can keep finding work despite his sheer lack of talent. Also just what the hell was Toni wearing?? Someone sic Mr. Blackwell on her toot sweet.

My Grade: D-

DVD extra

Although mostly a plot re-hash from actors Ben Affleck, Samuel L Jackson, Sydney Pollack, Toni Collette, and director Roger Michell, there are also a few non-plot comments. You get to hear Collette's native Australian accent (she adopts an American one for the film), and much is made by the actors of Michell's theater background having him provide written notes between takes, presumably something other directors don't do.
