Schizophrenic Obsession Is a Trip

I Love Your Work.

Hmmmmmmm. Are we over the whole "boo-hoo I'm a celebrity my life is horrible?" yet? Maybe it only feels that way when largely unknown celebrities (Adam Goldberg who?) make movies about it.

At first I did like this piece, its whole psychology of what is real what is imagined, seemed like it was really going places. But then well it just didn't.

Things I liked about this film:
Giovanni Ribisi's performance. Overall the character's and plot line left a lot lacking in the interest department yet he went full out and tried to make it better. I appreciate his trying because with anyone else in that role this would have been unwatchable.
Joshua Jackson's scruff. I'll admit it when a movie sucks I'll go for the superficial. It was nice to see Jackson in a decent role especially all tortured artist and scruffy. Again it made the boring end semi-enjoyable.
Marisa Coughlan. I have to again give proper recognition to her and Jackson because Gray's mental breakdown is interesting but it causes the whole movie to fall apart. Coughlan's performance is an anchor in that part of the movie. Not a very good one but there are highlights like when she is trapped by Gray and has to ask what his intentions are with her. Good enough.

So if you are interested in psychological breakdowns or you like how obsessed celebrities have become with themselves check it out. If not you can just keep on living like you'd never heard of this movie, which most of you probably haven't.
