MCT:October 26, 2008Good movie with a fascinating story plot by Edward Burn. Great cast- Patrick Wilson, Selma Blair, Debra Messing, and Donal Logue. Worth seeing.

MCT:September 15, 2008The only word I can use to describe Purple Violets is "eh".
Eh.
The story is basically about two writers (though one isn't one at the moment) who want each other, so they go through a series of mis-steps to achieve their goal. Of course they have a pair of friends who once dated, now hate each other, but you know will get back together again.
The problem is that I really didn't give a shit about the characters. There was no soul in any of them (except Dennis Farina perhaps) and watching them was just numbing. You didn't feel for these people. For being in love there wasn't much affection between them with the last fifteen minutes being a total disaster.
I can't even recommend this as a chick flick because I don't think Edward Burns knows how to write for women. It's not a horrible film, but it's not great. It's "eh". -

All of the acting is fine, okay, good. Script is good enough. Not anything awesome but it is a nice movie.
Cinematography by William Rexer not ground breaking or anything but nice..jpg)
Costume Designer: Catherine Marie Thomas
(27 Dresses, Kill Bill) is fantastic. I've never seen so many sweaters. I was more impressed by the wardrobe than I was in Marie Antoinette by Milena Canonero who won the Oscar for Best Achievement in Costume Design.
Lots of language, no nudity or sex, surprised by that and the wardrobe. 5 stars for the wardrobe, 5 stars for Selma's couple of finer points, 3-1/2 stars for the story/film itself.
Not a comedy, but a romantic drama. Good for Edward Burns, writer, director and costar (The Murph).

Enjoyable movie. Nothing new. Selma Blair was ok as usual, and Edward Burns has done much better. 4**** just because.
