โLoveโ Brad Pitt and can appreciate George Clooney, but have seen a major decline in the acting and comedic timing and energy in their performance. I did โlikeโ this movie, but the energy from the interactions between the actors, was slow and contrived, compared to past performances of these actors.
Even Clooneys last movie with Julia Roberts was campy and sad to watch. Two good actors, who in past performances, were quite compelling. Their performances and banter were sad. They had more conviction in earlier performances.
They seem to have become comfortable, that audiences will just like the movie, because they are in it. I felt a very low effort from the actors.
I think they should have punched their roles up.
Unlike Diane Keaton, albeit her age, can still grab you with her acting.
