Tribeca - My Dear Enemy
Somewhere inside this boring film is an interesting idea struggling to get out. Our two main characters are ex’s and the guy owes the girl $3500 from a loan she made him a year ago. As the film opens, she shows up and demands that he repay her, so he is forced to travel, with her, around the city hitting up various friends for loans. Obviously this is meant to be a film of exploration, where more and more of the characters and their back story is revealed as we follow them on their way. The only problem is that their back story is dull as all get out and it takes forever for anything to happen. The film isn’t particularly funny, particularly dramatic, or particularly interesting. With a better script, a better cast, and a better director this film might have been something. As it is, it simply drags on terminally. Two out of five.
