Three-quarters of the way through "Next Stop," I realized that I really didn't care whether these two people ever met or not. Neither is particularly likeable. There's some fairly amusing dialogue, but isn't that pretty easy to come by these days?
I was particularly looking forward to seeing Hope Davis, after reading so much about what a brilliant actress and ethereal beauty she is. Perhaps this film is not the best introduction to her skills, because she plays Erin as a one-note sad-sack (not unlike the "brunette Gwyneth" in "Sliding Doors," which was actually a much better romantic comedy). And she looks like Boy George, with her big pointy nose and weak chin. She's also overly made-up, so I couldn't really detect any "glow".
All in all, I'm not sure what made this the six million dollar movie. Worth seeing only as a diversion.
