Absolutely superb.* I think this one went straight to video, which is sad. It included perhaps the sexiest scene in recent movie history, where the lead male and the hot supporting actress he's desperately trying not to sleep with (due to him being engaged to someone else) talk about their fantasies about each other........
*I was fairly well toasted last night, so YMMV.

I was this a couple weeks ago, and while Frances McDormand's performance was good, the movie itself was soooo fucking formulaic -- "rich, sheltered girl, exposure to ooooh 'sex, drugs, and rock n roll,' oooooh experimentation and participation, ooooh problems ensue, and some silly family dymanics, and the obligatory women = evil, while men = not quite so evil, blah blah blah and so on."
I spent most of the movie trying to remember in what I had seen the boyfriend b/c his acting was so annoying.
