Movie #222........................."Brief Interviews with Hideous Men"

Movie #222 "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" tries to tackle the subject: the truth about men. Doesn't that seem a bit too much? I like the idea of the format of the film -----interviews----------I like one or two of the monologues ----- and that's what mostly is here --------but there's not enough here to sustain interest for me. I give it two stars for the effort, but it falls short. The high point (John Krasinski's monologue) is very moving, but after a couple of minutes, I didn't feel its effect. Too Brief.

Grad student Sara Quinn (Julianne Nicholson) is perplexed by her endless string of romantic failures. Combining work on an anthropological dissertation with her quest for personal answers, Sara interviews an array of men, whose confessions range from banal to bizarre. Actor John Krasinski makes his directorial debut with this quirky comedy based on a collection of short stories by David Foster Wallace.
