I watched this movie on Saturday night. This is one of those flicks that you either love it or hate it. It's basically all about upper class society, drugs, teenagers and the denial their parents live in (remember the part in Traffic where the kids from the upper class families are spending all their money on drugs? Its like that, but better) Oh and there is a kidnapping, but I won't spoil it for anyone. Glenn Close did a great job in this movie too. There are certain times when I do not like her(fatal attraction), but she was so Stepford in this movie, I couldn't help but think those are the types of roles she should play more often. I got really sucked into it. I think the next time I watch it I will like it even more. Normally I will work on my wedding photography or knit while watching movies, but with this one I found myself so involved in these kids lives that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Overall Rating: 4 Stars (Although the next time I watch it, I may have to change that to 5 stars)

Yuck, I feel like I need to take a shower now. How is this movie supposed to be funny? I feel like I have been in an ashtray for last 90 minutes. This was recomended to me by a friend of mine. I am going to have to tell her that she needs to listen to me a little better when I talk about the films I like. I was really hoping to find something funny in this, but I was truly dissapointed :( Overall Score: 1 Star

Well this was a weird movie. Basically the premise of the movie was about sex and relationships.. well what comedy/romance movie isn't right? I have to say that I liked it but it wasn't enough to keep my attention. It was in an "interview"style film about several sets of couples in all stages of relationships talking about sex and love. I love Edward Burns and I thought he played a really great character. I don't really have much to say about this one other than if you are bored and its on cable, it is an entertaining 90 minutes. Not funny, not sad, not profoundly insightful, just entertaining. Although I did think it was interesting to see the relationships between each of the couples grow and change in the different stages of their lives..like you could almost see the moment on their faces where they realized this was a huge mistake and they seem to grow up just a little bit in that instance and it forever changed who they were as a person. Or in one guys case, not changing at all and falling completely downhill.. Overall Score: 3 Stars
