How many formulaic, boring, insipid, little worthless movies can Ed Burns churn out? Is it an infinite number? I wish there were permits issued for movie directors, so we could deny one to Ed Burns. Again! Some dreary little story, that he wants us to believe is profound, because he thinks it's realistic. He thinks if he presents anything that most people in his target audience, (wealthy, educated 20-40 somethings who hang out in Manhattan and the Hamptons)can relate to, no matter how boring, then he's made art. Hey Ed, it's not art. It's not even crafts. It's like opening a can of Campbells soup. Yes, Ed Burns might just as well go open a can of soup, than make these pathetic movies. And he's not a great actor either. The characters he plays aren't interesting to begin with, and he does nothing to elevated them. Do not waste your time, even if you're 25 and hang out, or wish you hung out, in the Hamptons. I once saw some old movie, set in East Hampton, with Rob Lowe and Doug Savant called MASQUERADE. Now, THAT was pretty good, for a crappy potboiler, like a guilty pleasure. Whatever it is, it's not boring and pointless.Ed Burns should watch it 12 times, and see what entertainment is. Even bad entertainment is better than no entertainment at all. BTW, just so any readers know; should poor Johnny follow his dream or sacrifice it?.....i get it...I get it....I get it...it's a case of who the heck cares because the entire presentation of the dilemma is no boring, in every way.
