Textuality (2011)
8/10
...Hits close to home
2 February 2012
Not usually a fan of romantic comedies, but a friend told me I should see it... now I know why. Although it was still a fairly predictable plot, I enjoyed the films attempts to deviate from what is typical in films of this kind. This film, if anything, is a real warning to others...as I think we can all relate to how often we are checking emails, texts, facebook, etc. The film shows two people who are on the far end of that spectrum and are having a hard time juggling a roster of significant others via their cell phones. At first, I wasn't a fan of the male lead ... it's kind of hard to feel for him, but as the film goes along, you can see that he is damaged goods, and needs to disconnect in order to have a shot at a relationship. I can totally relate to this, which made this film hit pretty close to home. The female lead was really cute and talented. And her roster of guys were a riot. Nice to see Eric McCormack from Will and Grace back in action, in a role that I never would have expected him to play. A very talented guy. I'm recommending this to my buddies who could use a good look in the mirror....and a few laughs along the way.
