 Extremely poor outing from actors who should know better May 31, 2008

Shame on you Jake Paltrow.
Shame, shame, shame.
The worst film I have ever seen. That is no exaggeration and I have seen some god awful films in my time. The only thing worse than an unfunny joke is an obvious unfunny joke, and this film has some crackers. Whether it's Simon Pegg taking the piss out of the English doorman, Danny DeVito having an array of different jobs or Martin Freeman's "hilarious" indifference to life. That Gwyneth Paltrow, Simon Pegg, Martin Freeman and Danny DeVito agreed to do this film is shocking, as the writing is quite clearly as poor as the directing. There is minimal character development besides Freeman's indifferent, arrogant nature, Pegg's filandering and DeVito's "Zany-ness" and the film jumps so haphazardly between conversations and scenes that you lose interest just as soon as the film begins. When we watched this film (again no lie or exaggeration) I counted 3 minutes and 29 seconds when we lost all interest. I wonder whether the cast were duped into doing this piece by the fact that Jake Paltrow (you'll be surprised to learn) is Gwyneth's brother. If so, shame also on Gwyneth Paltrow for allowing her brother to dent not only her career, but Pegg, Freeman and DeVito's as well, not to mention humiliating her brother by allowing him to relase such a poor, badly written and badly directed piece. You should all know better.
I gave this one star as that is the lowest you can give but personally, I would give it none if I had the choice.
Oh dear! May 27, 2008

 Big stars - small film March 14, 2008

This is a really sweet, thoughtful little film about a guy who wants what he can't have. Martin Freeman is Gary playing an ex-musician who now writes advertising jingles, in a loveless relationship of convenience with Dora played by Gwyneth Paltrow, friends with his ex-bandmate played by Simon Pegg who he now works with but who has a slightly better career. And at night he dreams that he has the perfect relationship with a beautiful girl played by Penelope Cruz.
This is a well observed, funny film about relationships and the pressures that we put on our lives. But, do not be fooled by the big name cast; this is a small, quiet, gentle, almost art-house movie. Those expecting a broad comedy will be sorely disappointed.
Good performances from Paltrow and Freeman and a nice comic turn from the increasingly popular Simon Pegg, make this a lovely little film.
