Movie Reviews
Just boring and uninteresting
All saccharin and no sugar
There is something about this movie that just doesn't work. And I think it is found in the characters. Not so much the story.
The plot is easy to follow - Robert finds Jenny, Jenny falls for another guy, Robert is too shy to tell Jenny he loves her. Enter the mystery girl Sara who brings Robert out of his shell to confess his 'feelings for Jenny' on the eve he must move back to the east coast. Then at end of movie Sara turns out to have her own multiple level story.
For me I found the characters unbelievable and the Sara/Robert San Francisco adventure a bit pointless. Their 'getting about' and angry moments are just stretched out too long and their constant clashing and making up forced and hollow. Then you get the bombshell in the last 8 minutes.
It just didn't make sense and I'm wondering how good this story could be even if just reedited.
