Movie #1047 "About Adam" is an odd film about odd people, one in particular, Adam. The story was silly to me and hard to believe, and I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was that the main character just wasn't all that charming to me. Maybe it was hard to believe that all these sisters in one family could be so needy that they would seek sex with this phony, but charming, guy. That they couldn't see through him. Or find him hard to believe. I guess we are supposed to find him wonderful because by bedding down all these women in the one family (while being engaged to Kate Hudson), he was able to allow them to open up to their sexuality and find love in their husband or friend or whatever. What a wonderful guy he is, huh? Nope, I didn't buy it. But all the actors were capable, esp. the women, all beauties in their own way, within and without. Interesting piece of casting to make the lead, Kate Hudson, speak with such a thick Irish brogue when she doesn't normally do that. I didn't even know she was Irish at all! I really wouldn't recommend this, and I'm starting to really think the Irish film industry needs a lot of work!
