I think the movie is a complete waste. I did not see any acting there, it was just a collection of phrases read by actors, some scenes, dialogs. And nothing came together. The sujet line was so promitive: the guy is old, the girl in young, they are both bored, so they go out and fall in love (hm-m, that's hardly to believe from the movie itself). Scarlett Johansson was so much better in the Horse Whisperer, because really in Lost in Translation she did not act at all.
