Review of The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009) by Manu G — 19 Jun 2010

At first I had a hell of a time physically telling the difference between two main female characters, Pippa Lee in the present and Pippa's mother in the past, with the result that I couldn't easily follow jumps from present to past and back again.

Then, an hour into the film, I realized I no longer cared about Pippa, an overindulged drug-addled rich bitch woman of privilege with the kinds of problems your average working mother would kill to have.

And you know what was really interesting? My wife had the same reaction, and actually gave up on the movie five minutes before I did.
