...don't go see "Happenstance".

Next to my wife I am an action freak. She nearly fell asleep during that silly film. Audrey Tautou honestly tried to breath life into some scenes, but they were so poorly scripted that she fell flat on her cute face. The beautiful and human star of Amelie aimlessly walked from scene to scene, finding rest in none. Ditto for other characters. Yeah, I sort of figured the main premise, who would not? It is small and fairly trivial, but in the hands of a master could become something. Blame this on the director.

You can do whole lot better for your $7... $10... $14, whatever.
