Blue Valentine (2010)

This movie was probably the worst that I have seen in years. Trashy. A horrible depiction of the poor or struggling. This film much like "Love and Other Drugs" was overly hyped due to the 'celebrities' in the film offering a MUCH better reputation of it than it deserved. I was very excited to see this film going in and even invited a new friend to help celebrate its release. It was filmed like a documentary and offered many scenes out of focus that would have been much better otherwise. Way too many tasteless sex scenes that did not help grow the characters. I never knew them going in - and I never knew them after scenes like the ones mentioned above - nor would I want to know them. It was the most slow moving (for no reason), plotless, loveless, tasteless film - that I have seen. If American audiences are trying to see a documentary type film - please just go watch one. That style for a drama does not work. The only nice thing I can say about this film is that Ryan Gosling has a great agent and knows what characters to choose - talk about typecasting. Regardless, he is talented. Michelle Williams should stick to Dawson's Creek. I walked out of the film. Save your money.
