Well, well, "She Came to Me" sure came... and it sure left me wondering why I didn't just stay home and watch paint dry. This romantic comedy is like a magic trick that somehow turns an A-list cast into B-movie performances. Peter Dinklage, Marisa Tomei, and Anne Hathaway deserve so much better than this cavalcade of rom-com clichés strung together by the thinnest of plots. Imagine every predictable trope you can-now add a tugboat. That's this movie.
The dialogue in this film feels like it was randomly generated by a broken computer from the '90s. Dinklage's character, a supposedly quirky operetta composer, has lines so wooden you could build a deck with them. And every scene between him and Hathaway is like watching two very charming people read the phone book to each other-with less chemistry. When your movie makes audiences root for the characters to get a divorce, you might have missed the mark on the whole 'romance' thing.
Let's talk pacing: if this film moved any slower, it would be going backwards. It's a series of awkward scenes stitched together with all the finesse of a toddler's first sewing project. The movie tries to juggle comedy with heartfelt moments and drops both on the floor. Watching "She Came to Me" is like attending a stranger's wedding: you don't know anyone, nothing makes sense, and you just keep waiting for it to be over so you can leave.
