Twists, explanations ... And Robin Williams!

With that kind of cast, you expect at least an interesting movie!
I caught myself completly lost in my thoughts several times throughout the movie!

First, why waste the talent of an actor such as robin on a meaningless role such as "Roger"?
Throughout the whole movie I expected a twist every single time Robin was on... But nothing!

Second, considering Tom had a twin-like resamblance to Garret, I was expecting an explanation to such thing.
Since there was no explanation, I think it would have been more realistic to just have had two different peope, who look alike a lot, play the two different roles.

I really wish it hadnt been so underwhelming!

What are you, twelve? TWISTS? This isn't The Sixth Sense, you know. What is wrong with people on the imdb or what is it about the imdb that causes people to become idiots?

...or people that are so easily thrown into a rage and attack people and call them names for having an opinion? The OP's comments add to the discussion of the movie. Your comments do not.

Though I disagree with the OP I feel no need to belittle him/her.

Couldn't agree more. I was waiting for something to happen, thinking about other things and trying desperately to like this. I felt terribly sorry for Tom but, oddly, not for her.

@OP

I totally agree. :)

I agree with this. I can just about accept the appearance, for the sake of the story - but they had to have the same VOICE too? Ed Harris couldn't do an accent?! Cast somebody who looks like Harris, or make somebody up to look like Harris... They're supposed to be similar enough that Bening's character persists with a delusion, but they don't have to be identical when they're really meant to be two different people; this wasn't designed as science fiction!
