Review of Dedication (2007) by Betsy H — 19 Mar 2008
Well it's a decent movie, but I liked it very much, I felt a very good acting portrayal by Billy Crudup. Henry Roth is messed up. A New York children's book author who tells kids that Santa doesn't exist, he hates sleeping with and next to- anyone, including his girlfriend and must lay on the floor, usually with heavy objects on top of him just to feel safe.
His motto is "Life is nothing but the occasional burst of laughter rising above the interminable wail of grief." "Dedication," a modern love story in which a misanthropic, emotionally complex author of a hit children's book series is forced to team with a beautiful illustrator after his best friend and creative collaborator passes away marks the directorial debut of Justin Theroux.
As Henry struggles with letting go of the ghosts of love and life, he discovers that maybe all it takes is a little dedication.
