  Irene in Time

  by Rich S

  What a dissappointment! The trailors were better than the actual movie. Purportedly a study of a young girls search for love in the image of her much adored "daddy", it is actaully three threads woven indiscriminantly and artlessly in the neurotic haze of West LA. One thread portrayed as a collection of self-absorbed women kvetching about their experiences with "men" as if these could be lumped into some characteristic game or technique. The other is a maudlin set of sequences overacted and unintentionally funny in which reminences and romantic ideals are conflated in dreamlike fashion to end predictably in Frederick's character's dismay. A kind of Charlie Brown in the dating world thread. Finally these motifs are punctuated with a few "group therapy" scenes that I supposed were inserted mock-umentary style to give "meaning" to the "story"; get it? One wonders if the Director was present during the filming or just showed up in the cutting room later. The dialogue is awful. Save your $

  Walked Out

  by pamelita_anita

  This movie was a little like seeing your neighbor's kindergartner's recital. The proud parent enjoys every minute, but any another person would only stay, smile and nod if the parent were a close friend sitting in the next seat. The film is a sorry star-vehicle for the lead actress, Tanya Frederick. If only she were a star, or if Harriet Schock had less treacly lyrics and overly-sentimental singing style, perhaps Irene Jensen's character might have been tolerable. The film fails to explore the relationships between women and their fathers, instead focusing on superficial conclusions and sappy constructs of child-parent connection. It tries to make up for its hetro-focus by providing an unconvincing man-kissing *******. Mostly though, if the dialogue was not laden with grown women referring to their fathers as, "daddy," and Irene Jensen hadn't cried saying she'd never find a man like her father to cut bananas into rounds for her cereal....well, then I wouldn't have walked out.
