A typical Affleck heart string yanker!
By A49CARV168NS1 on 2007-03-13
Affleck seems to be in just about every film under the sun nowadays. I felt like this show was somewhat similar to the film "Bounce" that he co-starred in with Gwyneth Paltrow. This film tries showing a go getter in a corporate environment whose life is falling apart around him. Rebecca Romjin co-stars as his wife Nina, and her character adds a lot to the drama, which also includes a journal belonging to Jack (Affleck) being stolen and used against him. Many great actors and this story was somewhat interesting, but in the end it is just one of those campy films you could enjoy on a Sunday afternoon.
a pretty good one ruined by a ridiculous scenario
By A32AK8FOAZEPE2 on 2006-12-31
it's a shame to see a screenplay simply ruined by a ridiculous insertion that ruined ben afleck's good performance. since when writing a diary or journal would become such a big fuss? to arrange a bad actress, bai ling, focused at, circled around, and concentrated on her plot to ruin the hottest talent agent in town is the worst scenario i've ever seen. if the screenplay writers have the least logic training, they should know that the adulterous betrayal of the talent agent's wife and his silent suffering devastation would be more than enough to touch viewers' hearts. the beginning and the ending parts were good, but the plot and the scenes of chinese restaurant negotiations, chasings by a chinese kitchen clan was so ridiculous and stupid, so stupid that beyond any word that i could describe.
ben afleck did a quite good job even in this lousy screenplay. as to his father's part and the whole chinese rip-off scenario, both should be omitted and rewritten before putting into production.
Is this movie trying to be funny or moving?
By A2CA779BMA8QFM on 2007-03-03
Is a meaningful movie possible that tries to be both at the same time? After watching this you will only feel what a stupid movie because it self destroys any seriousness.
DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT WANTS TO BE
By A1ER6IYOMM8VCT on 2007-08-25
This movie was very weird and I really didn't know if it was a drama or a comedy. The acting and story are OK. I guess it shows, I wasn't really impressed by this movie,but it was an OK watch. If your bored and want to see it, rent it.
PAY ATTENTION!!
By A23Q6X6YC3NPG on 2008-02-27
This is truly a thought provoking movie that you need to PAY ATTENTION TO....think about it...he goes to a class to learn how to write his "Journal" and he really dos not know WHO he really is...just WHAT he is..his job, his possessions,etc...he starts thinking about his life, and he realizes that all the people surrounding him..at work,etc...are the same way..no ethics,no morality,no compassion,just concerned about making the big bucks regardless of having to lie,cheat,etc to get that...Going to the class makes Ben start thinking about what IS really important in life. WATCH IT . GREAT MOVIE !!
