Premise: Years after her high school boyfriend's death, Louise Harrington (Linney) is spooked when Scott Feinstadt's (Grace) graduate school application comes across her desk at Columbia University. Sharing the same name as - and similar appearance to - her former lover, Scott sparks to Louise, who openly welcomes the chance to love again.
I've heard mostly negative things unfortunately. I haven't seen it yet, but I don't have real high expectations.
I saw this on Monday (thanks to Mac for posting the info on it for everyone else) and I must say it's quite good. The performances are good, especially Linney and Byrne.
I have a problem with Topher Grace as an actor, though. I always think of him as Topher Grace Acting As So-And-So. Sometimes it's hard for me to adjust that he's trying to play a character, because his roles are always so down-to-earth and very "I'm hip". It's like you could watch his role in Traffic, 'Tad Hamilton' and this and you could be convinced its the same character. Maybe he needs a new agent. :?
I recommend the movie even though Small Town Filmcritic has heard mostly negative reviews. If you like Birth (the number of you that I can count on one hand), see this since it's interesting how both movies deal with older women interested in a younger male because they're seeing somebody else in their eyes.. Actually I think Ebert made a note of that a couple weeks ago too on their show.
By the way, when I saw Laura Linney after seeing the SNL dress rehearsal a few weeks ago, I wanted to go up to her and say "Oh my god! I loved you in the Hours!" I didn't say anything cause I'm a wuss like that, I guess.
Awesome, a followup from Kidd...I loved Roger Dodger. Interesting that the producers from You Can Count on Me did this too, they love Linney.
