When Will I Be Loved (2004)

11/08: Now, I know why there were raves posted on the DVD cover of When Will I Be Loved.

Those behind it must have been desperate to attract anyone's attention to see the film. Unfortunately, I fell for the trap. What I don't like is how the camera is always moving around in some scenes. The flipping back and forth between the opening screen credits and the action goes on for too long.

Neve Campbell, who didn't in Wild Things, bares almost all, but is her body great? No. Is she attractive? No. Is she pretty? Well, I've always thought of her as plain-looking. Strangely, Neve Campbell hasn't done much in years, so did she do the nude scenes to get back in the limelight? Anyway, RIP Neve Campbell's career because it can't simply survive on those endless Scream sequels.

Fred Weller, who plays Ford Welles, is embarrassingly bad. It's worse when he and the spoiled rich girl turn out to be pathological liars. Oddly enough, she lives in a luxurious apartment and does painting. So, will it make sense to cover the hardwood floor with plastic to prevent damage?

All in all, the final answer to the question When Will I Be Loved is: never.
