    Broken English takes 30 minutes to do what most romantic comedies manage with a simple montage. That's a good thing, by the way.

    As a director, Cassavetes is a keen observer of character and social interaction but not yet much of a visual stylist (which might also describe the improvisational dramas made by her actor/director father, John).

    What began as an interesting character study ends in convention, offering only the most clichéd platitudes in summation. You can't find true love until you love yourself? Hasn't Dr. Phil been telling us that for years?

    The ultimate chick flick that guys will love too. Parker Posey is adorable despite all her neuroses.

    Bad movie, none of the actors were convincing, no humor and the story was as simple as any chickflick could possibly be. Probably one of the worst movies I saw in the last couple of months.… Expand
