NOTES ON A SCANDAL (2006) C

If you want to visit with an emotionally brainless woman (Ms 1) and another "creepy" lady, (MS 2) go see this movie. If they added a psychiatrist or a shrink . . . it may have improved the film. I'm going to email this note to the screenwriter.

Years ago Hollywood made Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man. That was funny and exciting. This meeting between Ms 1 and Ms 2 is neither funny or exciting.

Some film art masters will say that the acting was wonderful, etc., etc., but that is only 13.3% of any movie. We need a story that holds our interest and suspends disbelief. This one fails on both accounts. (Sandy disagrees). Maybe it's a Chick Flick and I missed the point.
