We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)

Hollywoods greatest character actress in a bad movie.

[1/10 · 3 May 2006]

This one really shocked me. After so many good stories, and superb character acting from Laura Dern, I didn't know a movie could be this bad! Why do I say that? Because this movie had no beginning, no middle and no end. It just went on until somebody got tired. Even the men stars seemed scroungy, unkempt, long hair, unshaven, and looked like railroad bums. LD is probably the greatest female character actor to ever hit Hollywood, but even the best needs a story. "Afterburn", "Damaged Care", and "Citizen Ruth" provided her with a powerful character to be and she handled them well. This woman will never has to live with the words, "co-star" because she IS the star, something few women can boast about. By the way, "Daddy and Them" and "Dr. T and the Women" were almost as bad...no real story there either. I'll bet she knows this too. Thanks.
