Unfortunately, this is a disappointing, lifeless adaptation of the Michael Chabon novel. If you have read the novel, or are a fan of Chabon's writing, you will quickly see how the screenplay left out most of the edgier and charming parts of the book and supplemented it with predictable and nonsensical plot elements.

A movie that doesn't have a plot tends to drag. This one, not as much but still not a good movie. This day and age it seems people are interested in three people sleeping with each other than consentrating on a story. Yes, even man on man action. Now I have no problem with a threeway love affair, but when the movie just floats around for about an hour and half and finally decides what it wants to do the last ten minutes, it messes up everything.

Aside from some steamy sex scenes by eye candy actresses(Mena Suvari and Sienna Miller),and then rounded out with an out-of context gay-man-on-man scene, this movie has an extremely weak plot and story-line.Might sound interesting but its not. Its boring. It's supposed to be a coming of age story mixed with a - love story but its just way,way, too weak. The actor playing Art (the main character) is a mediocre actor at best.So the rating is this: zero stars for the movie and acting, 1 star for the sex scenes.You get straight and gay to choose from..OVERALL :If your looking for a 3-4-5 star movie-this is NOT it! How they got the great actor Nick Nolte to play the father figure and get involved in the financing of this horrible movie project absolutely escapes me.

Ok no one is winning an Oscar for their roles in this movie but it's not nearly as bad as the previous reviews. I found it interesting enough to recommend it to a few people simply because it was interesting and held my attention. Get your gf or bf and a couple of drinks and i promise you will enjoy it much much better...

not as good as The Wonder Boys.. by far. If you like his books... you may want to watch it. I do, but would rather have seen another movie.
