The return of Jonathan Demme? I’ll admit, this role looks like it fits Anne Hathaway perfectly. I’m not sold on her Oscar buzz yet (Globes, sure), but I’m not as skeptical as I was.

    The return of Debra Winger? I thought she died. And then Rosanna Arquette found her, but then she died again. Interesting.

    Wow, Anne Hathaway — good choice for a role before she gets pigeon holed as the princess, sweet girl next door. This looks really good.

    Hathaway looks fine but it doesn’t look Oscarry to me. Maybe independent spirt award

    I don’t want to make any judgements, but it reminds me of “Margot at the wedding,” the worst movie of 2007. I guess we’ll see.

    Anyone seen Hathaway in Havoc? Not really the sweet girl next door.

    Reminds me of Festen. Dunno, I think this might be about skeletons in the closet too. Anyway, Anne Hathaway might be a sure contender for the “hot and young” slot in the Best Actress race.

    Reminds you of Festen? Are you kidding me? I don’t remember any jokes like, “What am I gonna do burn the house down? Okay, that was one mattress fire!” in Festen. This movie looks awful.
