Sunday 17th June 2012
Director: Peter Hedges
Year: 2007
Stars: Steve Carrell, Juliette Binoche, Dianne Wiest
I was utterly convinced I hadn't seen this before. So, when, in the first five minutes my other half proclaimed that he'd seen this before, I was rather dismissive. Five minutes later, he had me doubting myself. Ten minutes later, I had to concede that he was right. I'd seen this before too. Which is probably a good indicator of how memorable it was first time round.
Not only had I seen this before - I even blogged about it. And my opinion hasn't really changed. It's a totally average, clearly unmemorable movie, with nothing much to recommend it in any way. Unless you like cheesy American romantic comedies.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 (it loses half a star for being so utterly forgettable)
Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
