Novelist Richard McMurray (Campbell Scott), a college guest speaker, confesses that his wife has just kicked him out of their home. When Kristin (Izabella Miko) tells Richard that he can stay with her and fellow student Jacqueline (Lizzy Caplan), he starts living with them. Soon, Kristin, Jacqueline and Richard are involved in a three-way fling. The affair provides creative inspiration for Richard and aspiring writer Jacqueline, but the fraught nature of the relationship also leads to trouble.

Insidiously engaging low-budgeter employs a literate sensibility, breezy tone and warm performances.

...a sporadically watchable yet thoroughly inconsequential piece of work...

I went into this one hoping to like it as much as something like Roger Dodger, which also starred Campbell Scott, but what we ultimately get is an okay character study of two roommates who let a writer struggling with writer's block stay with hem in exchange for tutoring and occasional sex, as things turn out. It's an okay watch, but more often than not feels like large chunks of it are just writer's exercises instead of anything happening with our characters. Rental.

Not quite as good as either, but felt very much along the lines of <a href="http://www.flixster.com/movie/adaptation/">Adaptation</a> and <a href="http://www.flixster.com/movie/stranger-than-fiction/">Stranger than Fiction</a>.

I skipped through the chapters of this movie. It was slow and ridiculous, but for some reason I wanted to know how it ended. Even the ending was disappointing - what a waste of time.
