The main focus of the story is in showing the manipulative nature of the relationship between the two leads, Linda and her husband Chuck. They're the only characters with any real depth, and even then it’s the shallow end of the pool. It’s a shame Robert Patrick got so little screen time; his understated performance was one of the highlights. Amanda Seyfried carried the film the rest of the time and looked beautiful throughout. Peter Sarsgaard oozed sleazy and looked like documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock’s evil twin.

I was wondering about this one.
It seemed to have a great cast but I thought it might be a snoozefest.
You went to go see it in the theaters? Heard it opened in Pip-pip land yesterday.
I wanted to give it a 3 because Amanda did do well in places but it felt very incomplete. It was half a film so it got half a score.
