The Details (2011)

“It’s impossible to reason with an unreasonable person.” – Lincoln

Number of Times Seen – 1 (29 April 2013)

Brief Synopsis – A dark comedy about where one little mistake can lead if you don’t try to fix it right away with the truth.

My Take on it – Dr. Jeff Lang and his wife Nealy seem to have a wonderful life on the outside, but when you delve into what happens behind closed doors, things are never what they seem.  The plot is somewhat complicated so I wont try to explain the whole thing, but the chain of events throughout the movie go from the comical to the absurd and half way through, I had had more than enough.

I hoped it would get better since this movie has some great actors; Tobey Maguire, Ray Liotta, Elisabeth Banks, Kerry Washington and Laura Linney. But alas, it did not.  I was quite happy when the movie was over. Still dont understand why good actors like to make bad movies. It cant only be for the money, can it?

Bottom Line – If you like dark comedies, you might enjoy this, but even that is given with a word of caution. Not recommended

Rating – Razzie Worthy (3/10)
