Overview
A handyman with marital problems meets a housewife with the same.
This movie is just so…. odd. I think the biggest problem that it had was that it didn’t quite know what it wanted it to be. At the heart of a movie is an interesting theme (couples that have lost their ability and/or desire to be intimate), but the delivery is just so….. blech. I think that the proof is in the pudding: when you have a music bed running underneath dramatic scenes, you know that the director did not have confidence in the material. Its a shame because the two female leads are fantastic.
