Something went awry between novel, screenplay and editing this film. It has good ingredients and should have come out well but due to bad timing and poor structure it sinks.Supposedly a mystery, the drama really occurs, that is the spur to action, in the last quarter; sure, it has been implied up to then, but the four leads get to it then and some life seems possible. But no, it drifts to nowhere and to nothing. It doesn’t need a neat resolution but it needs a dramatic conclusion and this has missed it by a long way.
The fault is the form which in a novel can work: out of sequence scenes, flashbacks, memories, etc but in this film are tedious and give too much time to one character played by Coogan, who is capable, but not convincing, and too afflicted by sibling envy to really provide forward movement.
Because Coogan’s character is pivotal in the first half, the others are ancillary and when they come forward in the last quarter they are not given much: petty self- interest from the women, and high principle from the Gere-politician. It’s not helped by the irritating architecture around the dinner itself and the food as some counterpoint to the bad tastes that are in character’s mouths.
This probably looked good on the page but is not successful in its proper medium. Skip it and find some other fare.
movie drove me NUTS!!!
movie aside…………… the SOUND EFFECTS DEPARTMENT needs to NEVER WORK Again!!!!! whose ever idea it was to use the “APPLE ALERT SOUND” through out the ENTIRE MOVIE DIE!!!!! Usually Richard Gere movies were something to look forward to… (ACTUALLy…. he was maybe the ONLY ONE who I didn’t want to PUNCH in this film)
