I watched this movie recently, spurred on by the positive reviews here, that seemed to be written by folk who, like me, don't like the cynical ways of the world, and with that of many modern movies. Sadly I was hugely disappointed. The by-numbers script appeared to be written by a movie school student, with endless, grating smart-alec dialogue. The characters appeared to be continuously trying to outsmart each other with the next clever quip, and not only do people not talk like that in real life, it also made a dearth of likable characters. This could work if the characters or dialogue are genuinely interesting, but both are rather boring. The only flicker of interest could be found in the dialogue of the elderly couple, but even that was set up with a rather far-fetched back story. Plus there were a few other cheap plot twists that left me feeling cheated. The movie is reasonably well-acted, despite the shortcomings of the script, and the scenery is very nice, but in the end it comes across as pointless and vacuous yuppie-fare.
