Movie Review Summary

Orlando Bloom can be hit and miss for me. In this film though he’s a hit, he plays the character of Drew Baylor very well and you feel for him as you watch his life break down. The same applies to Kirsten Dunst, she can be really good or really not. And in this film she’s really not. She’s quirky enough without playing somebody quirky. The result is somebody who is so over-quirky you worry for the sanity of the character.

The other problem is the script doesn’t exactly sizzle and the characters otherwise are a bit out there. Sadly these culminate in you not really caring whether the guy gets with the girl at the end at all.
