FOR RENT | DVD report card 3/18/2010

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:43:59 GMT - John Krasinski (TV's "The Office) wrote and directed this adaptation of a collection of David Foster Wallace stories, about a graduate student (Julianne Nicholson) who seeks the reasoning to her recent breakup through an anthropological experiment: a series of interviews, exposing the contradictory, often vile, often insecure sides of masculinity and sexual domination. But this unsatisfying movie ? despite some nice performances here and there from the likes of Timothy Hutton, Frankie Faison and Dominic Cooper ? doesn't seem to know much about what anyone wants, as the vast mosaic of interviews presented here don't add up to much, other than a wide look at sexual and masculine hang-ups, and a willingness to exploit any situation for sex. While it's interesting, it feels like a series of admittedly good monologues that never coalesces into a film, an actor's showcase first and an actual story with thematic concerns second. I hate the pejorative use of the word "pretentious" in criticisms of movies ? but, you know. The movie has a huge cast that also includes Will Arnett, Will Forte, Bobby Cannavale and Krasinski himself, naturally, as the two-timing boyfriend with the long monologue. $19.98 DVD, $29.98 Blu-ray.
