Big Disappointment

hmmm I actually liked Milla in this. I usually find her acting to be really awful because she tends to overact everything.

But her more theatrical and grandiose style of acting was very suitable for this movie because of the film/Hollywood motifs throughout it: Olive is living her life like she's in a film (her warped version of a Hollywood film at least) and always performing for people, so I think Milla's typical over-the-top performance fit in nicely.

But I did really find the kid annoying. I wanted to smack him.

I agree, this movie is a big disappointment. I like Milla, Marcia and Bill, in fact, I chose the movie because of these stars. But, the story is boring and tasteless. There is no effective way of getting the audience to feel the real bondage between the mom and the child. The only real good things in this movie are the shots of the train and the spacious villa.

this is exactly what i liked about the movie as well - Milla's outfits... :)
