    Cinematography by William Rexer not ground breaking or anything but nice.



    Costume Designer: Catherine Marie Thomas
    (27 Dresses, Kill Bill) is fantastic. I've never seen so many sweaters. I was more impressed by the wardrobe than I was in Marie Antoinette by Milena Canonero who won the Oscar for Best Achievement in Costume Design.




    All of the acting is fine, okay, good. Script is good enough. Not anything awesome but it is a nice movie.



    Lots of language, no nudity or sex, surprised by that and the wardrobe. 5 stars for the wardrobe, 5 stars for Selma's couple of finer points, 3-1/2 stars for the story/film itself.



    Not a comedy, but a romantic drama. Good for Edward Burns, writer, director and costar (The Murph).

    Wel this movie it had a pretty good cast, but the story didn't really go anywhere. The characters were not interesting enough to care about them. Some of the storyline was predictable.
