Three stories, three yawns

When i took a chance on renting this from blockbuster, the checkout lady said most people who rented it thought it was better than expected. I'm not so sure I'd be that kind. I could be critical with the eye doctor's exam not making sense (my background) or how she (Heather Grahm) breaks some news to her patient about a bad eye condition ...but sticking to the story I'd say it's just kind of slow. A little wierd also in the sense that this eye doctor is being stalked by a very quiet man in his early 20s and she is eventually ok with it. I won't spoil what happens with the stalker but the result is kind of weird. The other story in this movie has to do with the patient (actor who plays junior soprano) loosing his vision, pretty straight forward, ...yawn. Oh yea, he's a painter, can someone say cliche? I guess a third person in heather grahams life is her husband who she is separated with, he's one of the Baldwin bros. Not much going on with that third story line either. Overall, i'd save this one for when you really have nothing else to watch. January 27, 2008
