I guess I must be too shallow to understand the appeal of a film that appears to be the work of college student fulfilling a film class assignment. I understand it took around 28 days to film this movie, my question is, why did it take so long? My belief is that the Coppola name has such influence among Hollywood types that any garbage produced by his offspring will not be judged with the same critical measure as the work of others. I am disappointed that I didn't/don't see the art in this film, but I am more disappointed in knowing I purchased this blasted DVD based on the praises of film critics, they did it to me with "About Schmidt" and, shame on me, they did it to me again. Poor Sofia, she isn't any better at directing than she is at acting.
