    The Yellow Handkerchief tells a timeless fable, and tells it extremely well.

    The first half of The Yellow Handkerchief is the half-movie of the year, and the rest isn’t bad--just more sentimental, more ordinary.

    The romantic drama earns solid marks for atmosphere, moving shots of post-Katrina New Orleans and acting.

    Sluggish. Torpid. Boring. Those three words (and more) can describe The Yellow Handkerchief, a stultifying road trip movie whose inept screenplay is only partially counterbalanced by a trio of nice performances.

    OMG YAWN. How can anyone watch this BS? Seriously bad 2 dimensional characters. Obvious storyline about as unoriginal as gets! There is not one single drawcard that makes this in any way memorable or even makes you care what you watched 10 seconds ago let alone care to watch until the end. LEFT before it finished out of sheer BOREDOM!… Expand
