I'd also watch a weekly TV series titled, "Jennifer Connelly Mows The Lawn"... even if it aired at 4am. Heck, I'd probably tape it.
So I'm a little biased in her favor - and IMO, it paid off here because she's a joy to watch as an actress - more than just a pretty face. The ensemble is GREAT... Camryn Manheim, Tim Roth, John C. Reilly and Ariel Gade all do spot-on work; and Pete Postlethwaite is perfect for his part. I do agree (with many others) that Jennifer looks like she should regain a few pounds... screw Hollywood and its all-women-must-be-stick-figures mentality.
Ultimately I gave this movie a 6/10, which means I thought it was better than average but not worth owning; and I'll probably never see it again. Worth a watch though.
