Unbelievably bad
I am sort of stunned at how bad this was. I truly don't understand. The cast does the best with what they have, though Moore seems completely lost in her thankless role. Tennant has been a competent director in the past, but either he doesn't know what to do with such a first draft of a script or he didn't care. The shots are formatted and cropped weirdly with characters falling out of frame as they are talking. The film is full of unflattering and intrusive close-ups that are just bizarre. It's a laughless, mind-blogging slog and MacLaine and Lange deserve so much better.
