As I've said in a post below, Kaufman's scripts aren't everybody's cup'a tea. While I'll grant that Carry's performance was fine as were others, I couldn't help but feel that I was watching someone's student film due to the nauseatingly shaky hand-held camera shots and scenes that felt more like rehersals than final takes. In the final analysis one should develope some sort of empathy or compassion for the characters in a film, and on that level ESoTSM fails miserably. My appraisal combined with a description the reactions of my wife and one of our friends is just a scroll away!Cheers,
