I've seen this story already, in many films; and this film isn't a new take or even a better rendition of the threesome saga that filmmakers find fascinating for some reason.
The acting is good and possibly the only reason to watch this film. But, I must say, only one performance sticks out and anyone who's seen it will have to agree. I did some research on the major reviews of the film and the critics seems to agree with me.
Mirelly Taylor stays true and honest to her character. She didn't fall into the trap of playing the foreign Spanish sex kitten that was written for her, which most actresses would have. She plays her with elegance and class. She was the most interesting part of the film and it's too bad they didn't develop her story line even more. I've seen Beyond Honor, her other incredible performance that should put her on the map along side the top young actresses in the United States. That was a heart wrenching character that she portrayed with beauty and strength. It's no surprise she was picked as one of the 30 under 30 of 2006. I look forward to watching her in many great films to come.
Jeremy London's performance is passable. Kathrine Winniks' pouting and constant melodrama is at times laughable. But I will defend her dedication to the melodramatics; they may be the fault of the direction or the writing. Elisa Donovan is always so cute to watch even when she plays a bitch of a lesbian.
All in all, film doesn't pass, but the actors do a good job at saving the film from what was inevitably going to be an un-sexy rendition of a better film: Dreamers.
