I think none of us liked it. On the drive home with R & K, K regaled us with all the reasons she was horribly disappointed, though R seemed to think that it hadn't been a complete loss.<BR/><BR/>I guess I've seen a lot worse, but I was very far from impressed. I'm not really sure why. I certainly found both Routh and Bosworth flat and uninspiring. And Kevin Spacey just annoyed me. (I've never liked Spacey much. I liked him in the film 'Swimming with Sharks', in which it's expressly his job to be an asshole, and then to get the shit kicked out of him. Good film.) Oh, and Parker Posey, who can actually act, was wasted in her role. Maybe all that is enough to explain why I was bored so much of the time, but I'm not sure it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
