This is a movie where the actors try hard, really hard but cannot overcome the script. The problem with this movie is that the character of Sylvia is not very sympathetic. Sylvia alienates everybody around her with her abrasiveness, especially toward her husband. Her behavior is never really explained. Why should we care about this woman? She seems to flip out too soon in the movie and too often for no reason whatsoever. I know Gweenth Paltrow got acclaim for this movie, but she has been in much better movies to bother with this one. Note to Hollywood: between this and the overrated The Hours, movies based on real female authors are not automatically interesting. In both films, we don't care the writers because the story doesn't make them interesting.
score 3/10
