another crappy film

I just watched Neve Campbell in When Will I Be Loved. Save yourself the hour and a half and the rental price. It sucks. I'm surprised Ebert and Roeper liked this tripe. Ebert had the gall to give it 4 stars even. The film is pretentious as hell without going anywhere. Overrated director James Toback has about a 45 minute story to tell and takes 85 minutes to do it, but even at 45 I don't think it would be all that good. Instead we get a thin, crappy plot with a collection of useless scenes thrown in to fill things out. We get overly long shots of such "charms" as Campbell's face while her scumball boyfriend bangs her from behind. The characters are all despicable human beings though that in itself wouldn't utterly ruin the film. No, it's the despicable plot that pulls that off. One star for Toback somehow convincing Campbell to do her first ever nude scenes, which were largely gratuitous, and in such a lousy film too. It's actually kind of funny. She must have bought into his pretentious "I'm an artist!" crap. No stars for the rest of the movie. So.... 1 star...
