TRUST THE MAN (2005) - Sept. 14, 2005
This started out really well. For the first half or so, I was enjoying it quite a bit; it was basically a better than average romantic comedy. The performances were all really good (David Duchovny and Billy Crudup were really good -- Crudup in particular was surprisingly good in a much lighter role than he usually plays, proving he is as adept at comedy as he is at drama). The dialogue was good, and there were also some genuinely funny parts. BUT... the movie was at least twenty minutes too long. As much as I was enjoying it at the beginning, it was completely plotless and in the latter half I was really just getting sick of it. It seriously overstayed its welcome. Which is too bad, because there's quite a good movie in here somewhere, it just needs some serious trimming. **1/2
