I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Such a frustrating disappointment
Better Late Then Never
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Some reviewer called it unrealistic. They think that because its so different. Jasmine isn't endearing, but she isn't meant to be. However, you begin to care for her just as Arliss does, against your will and with a feeling of doom. She's frustrating, but in a very real way (maybe i just think so because i know someone very much like her, not quite so far gone). Its shot almost entirely in one restaurant, at 4 different tables, with just the two actors and some very funny supporting by Cho and Goldthwait Its rather Shakespearean in the way that does not rely on set or atmosphere, the two leads are great. Just be open minded.
I love the crazy romance story between Jasmine and Arliss but the ending depresses me. Janeane plays her role brilliantly, adding both humor while showing the dark side to manic-depression. Definitely a movie that makes you think and challenges your outlook on things in this world.
This movie is as true as any that I have seen. I can really relate to the male role from experiences past relationship. The movie starts out very good, but goes way beyond funny. Like a roller coaster(Ie. up and down)very refreshing from movies of today. I would highly recommend it.
It started out very promising. Although this movie had some very witty lines delivered impeccably by Janeane, it was still very depressing. Margaret Cho was very good and I wish she had a story line too.
