Review

chick flick dreck. actually, it does have some redeeming qualities. 1) when winslet is going through diaz’s dvd collection she picks out a dvd of punch-drunk love. any reference to p.t. anderson gets a film points. 2) jack black is fairly funny. 3) eli wallach is very good. he plays an old-time jewish hollywood writer who has had it with the new-fangled hollywood writing and film-making. he recommends winslet watch films starring barbara stanwyck and other strong, leading ladies. he’s the best character in the film and any reference to stanwyck earns a film points. other than those points, though, the film is pretty basic. jude law, and the storyline that surrounds him, is just so cheesy and underdeveloped; very simple. hopefully your girlfriend doesn’t drag you to this one.
