After hearing how brilliant this film was, i finally ran out and rented it to find out what I was missing. I found myself waiting impatiently for its seething brilliance to seep out...didn't happen. Jennifer Lopez is beautiful, I'm not disputing that but perhaps she should stick to Loreal commercials. It seems she's the same character in every film she plays (with the exception of Selena, in which she delivered a worthy performance). I could say the same for George Clooney but what really annoyed me was the slow pace in which this film moved...best screenplay? You gotta be kidding me! How a film like Todd Solondz' Happiness can slip by the Academy's eyes and a film like this can be nominated for an Oscar just proves how political the Academy Awards are. On a scale of 1 to 10, i'll be generous and give it a 6 and a half.
