Betty J Jun 2 This is the most numbing, mind blowingly boring movie I have ever watched, even Whoopi couldn't make it watchable. See more 11/19/2024 This is one of only two movies that my wife and I walked out of in the middle. The star is on the phone for the whole movie. This film is all about terribly boring telephone conversations, and nothing else. See more Karl N 10/12/2024 The most exciting part of the movie is her goldfish crisis. That should not be a highlight in any movie other than Finding Nemo. See more Demented N 09/06/2023 Great movie ! Love The movie personally it's a great movie about being lonely and just having your self to talk too Professionaly it's bad though See more 07/25/2021 I Really Like This Film.
