When you look at the roster of acting talent on offer, it is astonishing how dull this movie is. The script is so thin, even poor Kevin Bacon is unable to wring anything out of it. The drama is shallow, the comedy almost entirely inhabits tumbleweed territory and the big narrative 'surprise' towards the end is instantly given away by the casting (what physical trait is shared by Julianne Moore and Emma Stone?) The only truly bright spot in this slightly seedy, weak and unconvincing movie is the wonderfully-timed delivery by Liza Lapira as Stone's friend.
