Synopsis:

 

Two business executives--one an avowed misogynist, the other recently emotionally wounded by his love interest--set out to exact revenge on the female gender by seeking out the most innocent, uncorrupted girl they can find and ruining her life.

 

The Freak's Rating: D : Acting, the introduction of Jesse Eisenberg (of Zombieland and Adventureland) and a sexy pre-True Blood Anna Paquin save the film from failing. Overall this indy pic garnered far too much praise for its mediocre display of writing. Sometimes originality overpowers a film's entertainment value and this is a prime example.

Brian's Rating: C- : I don't need to say much about this film other than it was fairly boring with bad acting. Even Jeff Daniels may want to leave this one off his resume.It is supposed to be a powerful montage about what divorce does to kids.Maybe it is, but I was too busy waiting for it to end. Despite all the bad review, its not a complete and total waste of time. At least I could see what the director was going for.
