Read More A movie that seems much longer than it actually is because the characters are irritating. The story revolves around a romance between Arturo and Camilla, a couple who act like they hate each other because they each have issues, so it takes forever for them to get together. It's just annoying and stupid. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Too bad. It started out intriguing, but as one reviewer said it progressively lost more and more momentum as it went on. In the end there was little point to it. The one star goes for the attractive and decently portrayed main characters. Too bad they had little material. Why Donald Sutherland would even accept such a stupid role is beyond me.

As such, they did not evoke my interest or empathy. This is the kind of a movie that seduces you with potential; you keep watching waiting for something to happen and nothing does.

5 out of 8 people found this review helpful It was a slow, quiet movie for a change. Have to see one once in awhile to offset the bang-bang ones. Actors did a good job, always enjoy Selma, Colin's accent was understandable.

Reminded me of The Whole Wide World with D'Onofrio & Zellwegger. Two people strong in what they stand for whether right or wrong. Both filmed in the same period of history. Recommend for the ladies who enjoy somewhat of a romance movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

It is too long, too boring, and too pointless. Perhaps the writers should have done a bit more reasearch, perhaps they would have found that there was discrimination against "I"talians during the time period. The "peek-a-boo" nude scenes were childish and poorly done. Worth watching: perhaps, but not high on the watch list. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
3 out of 5 people found this review helpful A comedy/tragedy/coming of age in one. Set in a 1930's town in the Twilight Zone, Farrells character is at first irritating in the way he treats people while at the same time he stumbles around. Later you find him funny because he is so pathetic. Salma Hayek carries the movie. She injects a tempting sensual vulnerability into her character as she teaches Farrell "how to act". Their romp in the surf is worth the earlier frustrations. The title ties into the tragedy as Farrell finds that while getting what he wanted, he lost even more.WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Ask the Dust is a very long love story thats well worth it. The reason why this movie works so well is the chmistry between Collin and Salma is so real. you get to see Farrell and Hayek having sex in the waves of the Pacific. Thats worth a look especially seeing Collin naked. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
