This movie was not horrible, but was no where near as good as it could have been.
The settings and costumes were dull, and the actors had zero chemistry, with the exception of a woefully underused Irene Ryan. Even the weirdo sidekick , normally my absolute favourite type of character, did nothing to save this movie. Most of the plot points also left something to be desired. Owen refusing to ever actually write anything was not only not believable, it was also not funny. The marriage was completely nonsensical, and shifted gears from badly done screwball comedy to badly done romantic drama.
As others have said, it all just dragged on from there.
