United Colors of Bennett Song

This is one of those movies that sucks you in. The direction, writing, acting, and elements like art direction are all over the place. My wife and I almost bailed about 20 minutes into the film.

The quirky characters, and basically a good story kept us in. At times a scene would work, and work well and then the next scene would be a disaster with over the top writing, a lack of direction and non-existent acting.

There are fact dumps, over the top PC moments, a very scary post plastic Tara Reid, a PC Dennis Haskins are some of the negatives, yet the chemistry with some of the children, and story line make parts of this movie work.

I've seen this reviewed as a romantic dramady which is about right.

If you like a character driven movie, with some interesting characters you might like this movie.
