Movie #1345 "Different Flowers"


Movie #1345 "Different Flowers" was a movie I saw at the Phoenix Film Festival, and it was the weakest of all that I saw.  Pretty much there was a combination of problems.  First of all, the script wasn't all that interesting --- I have seen so many movies about a bride that jumps in a car and leaves her wedding to go on a road trip, and that's what the set up here is.  Only, instead of traveling with a guy, whom she falls in love with, it's her sister --- thus, the title "different flowers" because these two sisters are like vinegar and oil --- or at least they have been estranged for a while, and guess what happens by the end of the film?  And it takes a long while to get there, in my opinion.  It wouldn't be so bad if the actresses were strong enough to elevate the story/script, but they aren't.  They both looked familiar, which means I probably saw them in something else on t.v., but they seemed to be out of their elements here.  I give this a 2.8.  You can miss this one.
