• Poster: C-

Review:

We get it. One man with two lovers. It's fairly obvious. And that's why this poster does very little to excite an audience. It might bring in fans of the stars, but is that enough?

• Trailer: D+

Review:

Dreadfully slow, exceptionally moribund and lacking in any style or concept that would bring an audience to the theater. This looks like a painful recitation of a laundry list of film cliches associated with love triangles.

Oscar Prospects:

Thankfully, this film is releasing so early in the year. I wouldn't want to mistake it for an Oscar contender.

Release Date:

• February 13, 2009
