Review of Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009) by Jeff T — 08 Dec 2009
Dear John Krasinski: You are a talented and charming actor. I love your work on TV and have started to believe you might be a movie star too. So I have to ask you something. Why must you also be good as a writer and director? It seems unfair, to say the least. You have adapted the unadaptable novel/essay collection/whatever by the much-missed David Foster Wallace with so much grace, humor and intellect that it makes me want to punch you in the nose a little. It helps a bit that the last 10 minutes of your film don't quite hit the mark, in the end feeling more literary than dramatic, but it only helps a little. I think you're probably going to make a great movie, because you've already made a very, very good one. When you finally do that, I may have to stop speaking to you.
Sincerely,.
Jeff.
