Small Apartments (2012)


I have never been so uninspired to speak. Small Apartments...sigh. It's forcefully eclectic. Every character is unconvincingly condensed. Apparently it was adapted from a Chris Millis novel. Sometimes you watch a movie and get a feeling that the book is probably good even if the movie is not. No, not this time.

Here is my honest superficial reason for watching this movie: James Marsden. Second reason? Rebel Wilson. Her humor is quirky and I've been waiting for it to shine with the right cast. Unfortunately not only is she hardly in this movie, her character wasn't funny.

The biggest problem this movie is that it doesn't feel like anything happens even though you watch it happen. It tries so hard to bring everything together, but it just doesn't work. It's not drama, it's not comedy, it's not action. It's nothing.

On a scale of 1-10 Small Apartments: 4.5

Scene Spotlight: Rosie Perez

Let me just reiterate...a "Scene Spotlight" doesn't necessarily mean it's good.
