6/10
Slow Pace, but worth the overall effort.

Honestly, I'm not sure I liked this movie enough to spend a lot of time writing about it. It had some good performances, and I was happy to see Ferrell in a movie with a script that doesn't need him to take his pants off. I'm a big fan now, after Talladega Nights. I think Harris is good, too, but maybe he's always good. It can be hard to tell.

Winter Passing, under direction from Adam Rapp (his first), comes across with a mildly haunting mood that stays most of the film. Zooey's character's disconnect is palatable, and the surrealness of it all seems to fit without jarring. Pacing is slow, but it fits the mood.

While nothing is overtly wrong with this movie, nothing lends itself to making it stand out, either. I feel a bit like Randy from American Idol, when he likes the person singing, but not the performance. He starts real slow, and says, "Well... Dawg... I don't know what to say, really..."

This is what I have to say about this film. I Don't Know What To Say, But It Wasn't A Waste of Time. If it helps, my girlfriend liked it.
