The New Cliché

Some people might think filmmakers are starting to abuse the coincidentally intertwined multiple stories told in a jumbled time line format we've watched in the likes of 'Pulp Fiction', 'Crash', 'Babel' and 'Vantage Point', 'Amores Perros', etc. etc. etc. etc. I think it's becoming a cliché of sorts.

What sets this movie apart, however, are two inappropriately hilarious scenes, both involving Sarah Michelle Gellar's character, namely SPOILER: Trista's father tap dancing to death and Trista's attempted suicide (I felt I'd been suddenly transported to a Harold Lloyd movie).

I was very sad to see talent like Andy Garcia, Kevin Bacon, Julie Delpy and Forrest Whitaker wasted in this film.

score 2/10
