Review of Living 'til the End

I was drawn in by the cover photo...there was something "Royal Tenanbaum"_esque about it. Very quickly in the opening scene with the fortune teller it was clear we had rented yet another B movie by the film quality and acting. What really made this a bad movie, though, was the story itself. The fact that Jack becomes agoraphobic because of what the fortune teller told him was hard to swallow, but the fact that he becomes cartoonishly terrified is just too much. He is such a freaking pansy that I'm sure a 5th grade girl would even want to kick him in the nuts to see him do something brave. I can see where the writer was going with this story but it is just so one dimensional. Also most of the scoring and pacing was done so poorly that there was no punch in events. Audrey was all this film had going for it. She's beautiful and her character had a bit of depth (unlike Jack). Also...the secret (I won't give it away here) that Jack told his psychologist seemed to have nothing to do wiith the plot. Finally, I did not like how it ended.
