'Til There Was You (1997): Dir: Scott Winant / Cast: Jeanne Tripplehorn, Dylan McDermott, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Aniston, Christine Ebsersole: Idiotic romantic rubbish about the difference a person can make. It makes one wonder who will stand up and take the blame for this junk. Sarah Jessica Parker plays a former child star who is under the impression that everyone thinks she is dead. Jeanne Tripplehorn enters as a ghost writer who decides to do a biography about her. Later Parker is angry because Tripplehorn dropped the project to aid a place that city council plans to demolish. Predictable and dumb with horrible directing by Scott Winant. Tripplehorn takes honors for ruining the film with her constant overacting and her ability to bump into hanging objects. Why Winant figured this brief slapstick nonsense was necessary is anyone's guess. Dylan McDermott is flat as that standard guy whom Tripplehorn must get involved with, or at least allow the screenplay to hint at it. Parker survives the film with the one interesting role and she rises above while the rest of the film plummets fast. Jennifer Aniston also appears to hopefully her regret. The sets and locations are fetching and seem to liven up when the screenplay bores us to sleep. Aside from that there isn't much that seems to liven this sappy garbage. Pointless and dreary drivel embarrassment that is best seen behind closed lids. Score: 2 ½ / 10
