Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

eelranch I can't believe the number of gushing prior comments for this snooze-fest.Okay, I get the story: a woman whose relationships are negatively affected by the failures of her parents' and grandparents' relationships. A decent enough premise.The result, however, was dreadful. Stunted dialog, surreal locations, and a near absence of plot add up to 90 minutes of nothing much. I could have more profitably spent my time sleeping.With the appearance of bottles of Coors Light every few minutes I began to wonder if the brewery was financing the film. But it's not possible. Coors Light commercials have superior story lines.

JBruce-3 This film was merely okay. I felt that the main character of Lucy showed very little development... She deals with her emotional problems by sleeping around and that's about it. Also, Lucy seems to be worried about her relationship with her father. It is obviously strained, so she makes small attempts to improve their situation. She seems to be distraught over this bad relationship, and eventually has the chance to confront her father. I won't give anything away, but for what should have been a very climactic scene...things went absolutely nowhere.Her relationship with her "sort-of boyfriend" also has a lack of development. Nothing, at all, moves along...While the characters are realistic in terms of personality, life is certainly about learning from mistakes... I strongly feel that you don't participate in this film as the viewer. You don't learn with Lucy, and you certainly don't grow with her in any way. She is fairly one-dimensional.I like Joey Lauren Adams a lot, especially as an actor. I think that she's incredibly talented and for her first stab at directing, she should be satisfied. It's very hard to direct and it takes years and years to master. I think that Joey should put more time into her screen plays and try to develop her plots as much as possible. Is the film realistic? For the most part it's accurate personalities of people--but it doesn't really go anywhere beyond that. Overall, it's fair. Not a waste of time but not thrilling. I look forward to checking out her future efforts...

TxMike Ashley Judd is Lucy Fowler, bright and strong-willed, but with no direction and no boundaries. She has gotten to the point where she drinks too much, then takes home any half-decent guy who shows an interest in her. The next morning, sober, she seems to regret what she has done, but not much.Ashley Judd is super in her role. She is pretty but not glamorous, and she really makes us believe she is what she is playing.The story is a journey to see if Lucy can redeem herself. She can never truly love and respect someone else if she can't do that for herself first. She meets what appears to be a really nice guy, but she pushes him away, physically and emotionally.SPOILERS. It would't be much of a story to tell if Lucy didn't change, and if she spiraled down into an even worse state. We see her changing, and the prospects look good, but for me the transition seemed too abrupt. Still, a decent movie.

Simona Costescu Its one of the best movies Ashley Judd has done. She's very natural and likable in this movie. The movie of in itself is superb. A must see. Congratulations to Ashley Judd. The movie is at its best in that it represents everyday life. There's nothing better than seeing a close true based story. I believe the more natural and heart warming a film is the more people will enjoy seeing it and having it at home. Just like songs. People like to hear true tales that touch people within themselves onto which something they can relate to. In my opinion, the more down to earth a movie and a lead actor gets, the more people want to come to movie theaters. Simple answer.
