Ronald H You know you're seeing a bad movie when you can't tell if it wants to be a comedy or a drama....and it fails at both. It's too stupid to be taken seriously as a drama, and the only laughs it induces are derisive. It's ignorant, exploitative trash, and it's without a doubt the most embarrassing thing in Jessica Chastain's resume. Thankfully, she partly redeemed herself in her later work. She actually can act, but you wouldn't know it by watching this. I seriously implore viewers, even if you're fans of Chastain, to avoid this. It's little more than soft core porn. It's also an insult to intelligent, independent women everywhere. Men take one look at Jolene, and within 24 hours, they're proposing marriage. Of course, she accepts, only to end up betrayed and abused. Can a woman actually be this dimwitted? Give me a break. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Megan e Chastain's performance in her first movie is very good - 3.5 stars! However the film itself was rather pointless with Chastain's character having very little agency. The story seemed to highlight the objectification of women, but not in a critical way. It's a pass for me. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/18/23 Full Review steve d Often uncomfortable and melodramatic. Jessica Chastain is the lone bright spot showing signs of the star she will become. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Only watched cause gave 3 stars out 4 on tv and it had a young Jessica (thing for hot red heads, lol). The acting was good said it followed book (didn't read it) but Jessica did go to Juliard so not a shock at her acting and Chaz is from my family Bronx neighborhood. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those rare movies that gets better and better the longer you watch. My first thought was "What a life she's had!", but not all of her life was good. She made some really bad choices and they changed her life in dramatic ways. At first I thought she was really naive for the choices she made, but after a while I began to feel sorry for her. Great performances by everyone and the scenes of Vegas and the Southwest were beautiful. When the screen went black and the credits began to roll, I was disappointed because I wanted more. Jolene is an amazing woman-and this is an amazing movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member What did we learn? Get to know someone real well before you commit. Jolene marrys too young, has a relationship with a child molester, gets involed with a married man, marries a mobster who gets killed, and then some psycho rich guy who throat punches the "love of my life."Her best times were when she was on her own. Great acting by Chastain. My question is what's the point of the movie? Seems like it's get decieved by guys who say they love you and promise the world and then get sad. OK, no thanks Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
