Brief Interviews with Hideous Men starring Julianne Nicholson, Timothy Hutton & John Krasinski
Yep, the title doesn’t sound appealing at all. And the movie is even less appealing. I gave it my best shot but after 40 minutes, I made good use of the fast forward button.
I tried to watch it because Timothy Hutton co-stars and more often than not, he stars in good movies. This is not one of them.
The plot?
Professor Adams (Timothy Hutton)’s assistant Sara (Julianne Nicholson) has been cheated on and dumped by her boyfriend Ryan. So she interviews a wide range of men on the subject of women, as means to cope with her break-up with men and well, eventually trying to make sense of them.
Unfortunately for the audience, none of the men say anything remotely interestingand Sara doesn’t come off as smart or pretty. She just seems obsessed.
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men is a 2009 movie was based on the story collections by David Foster Wallace. It was adapted and directed by John Krasinski, who also plays Ryan.
I have no idea what fascinated John into shooting this movie. Yes, the movie is supposedly a comedy/drama but it feels like one long and annoying documentary.
The movie also features Will Arnett and Dominic Cooper.
At 5.6 on IMDB, I’d have to say it is hideously overrated.
