THE GOOD NIGHT; Carlisle's Final Word

"Sometimes I wish that you could just hit the sack and never wake up. If your favorite song never ended, or your best book never closed, if the emotions mustered from these things would just go on and on, who wouldn't want to stay asleep?"

Final Word; Love Actually meets Inception, only nowhere as interesting as you'd expect that to be. Billed as a romantic comedy, except not romantic and not funny, and with an out-of-nowhere ending uncharacteristically harsh and out-of-whack with the majority of the film (although I'm sure some might argue 'bitter sweet') you're sure to be left feeling depressed rather than warmed. Only Danny DeVito manages to make something of his very minor role, and he's probably playing the only empathetic character in the whole story- everyone else is either selfish or ignorant or both. Shoddy, rambling, irritating and disheartening. I've had more enjoyable trips to A&E.
