CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? is another Hollywood flick that I feel probably made a better book than it does a movie. Not that it's a particularly bad film, it's just that it's a bit, well, bland, and not really very cinematic. It's saved by a likeable supporting turn from Richard E. Grant - who seems to be channeling Withnail - and a small scale but interesting plot in which the main character's brass neck attitude takes some beating. Melissa McCarthy is better known for making lots of dumb comedies and she's far more subdued here, but suffers from playing an unlikeable character.
