Tribeca - Numb
Matthew Perry romantic comedy/drama vehicle about a guy who has depersonalization syndrome which makes it hard for him to connect with the girl of his dreams. It is an interesting change to the traditional rom com/dram formula, but in the end is pretty much a rehash of movies that we have all seen before. Matthew Perry seems to be capable of playing a single character and he’s just the same in this movie, though a bit more spacey due to his condition. Lynn Collins is quite cute as the girl that he falls for, but she’s not all that interesting either. This movie was a last minute substitution for me because Lost in Beijing started late, which kept me from getting to see Hard as Nails. I wasn’t planning to see this movie because I didn’t expect it to be very good and my view wasn’t changed by actually seeing it. It gets a three out of five for being better than average for the genre, even if that still isn’t very good.
