Ratings and reviews

I watched this with no idea about a description of the movie, and was surprised by some of the storyline and twists & turns the movie took. {This isn't a movie I'd watch with/or around my kids (the occasional content could be considered "deep", by some), caution should be considered.} For the events & time era in which the storyline was written for, I believe this movie was a success. Each actor/actress developed their characters to exactly fit the persons you come to love & hate in this movie...check it out, you just may be surprised!

Just watched this film and although I have to admit I'm not sure I understood the entire story line, I thought the dialogue, soundtrack and the raw film style were pretty fantastic. I also absolutely loved the acting -- on all counts. Nicole Kidman was superb, John Cusack was outright creepy, Matthew McConaughey was brilliant as usual, and the supporting cast were phenomenal. But the two I was REALLY impressed with were Macy Gray and Zack Efron -- wow, I had no idea either one was so talented in this area. Truly two up-and-coming actors that I hope to see more of in the near future!

This is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life, and that's saying something. Don't get sucked in by the all-star cast. They did the best that they could, but there's not a lot you can do with a pile of crap!
