So, this guy walks into a film school. The screenwriting instructor says "I have three rules for you if you want to make good movies:
1. Something interesting has to happen to the characters.
2. Never use text on screen or tell the story in exposition. It's cheating.
3. Give people characters they can relate to and will genuinely like.
And the guy says "Fuck you! Your rules are for the dogs." And then he makes a movie that ignores all three rules and, despite some promise, it kinda sucks.
That's this movie.
PS--Maggie rocks. Lisa's pretty damn good. It's the overly clever structure that killed it.
