Anyone who reads my
reviews knows that I am not the biggest fan of Anne Hathaway. I can't really
pinpoint where my dislike for her comes from, but I often find myself irked by
some of her screen performances, although sometimes she can pull out a
performance that I love, but most of the time I find myself irked. So I was
surprised at how interested I was to see this film when I watched the trailer.
There was something so strange and interesting about it that just appealed to
my senses, I guess. It also had Jason Sudeikis in it, who I love. I felt if
Hathaway annoyed me, he could possibly offset that...lol. My expectations were
middle of the grid ~shrugs.
Well surprise,
surprise...I like it, and far more than I expected. Hathaway did irk my nerves
a little, but only at the beginning. The movie started out very strange, but
had a nice story line, great pace, and moved along nicely. I loved the film's
strangeness that made for a more interesting film. As the movie moved along, I
started to enjoy Hathaway, especially her chemistry with Sudeikis. Sudeikis put
on an excellent performance of his own, with great humor and emotion.
I have an off kilter
personality, so I'm not surprised this movie appealed to me. This film will
seem strange to most, but I advise you stick it out until the end, you will be
very surprised at how much you enjoy it...B+
