If nothing else, She's So Lovely is certainly an interesting movie. Written by John Cassavetes before he passed with the intention of him making it in the '80s, the script passed along to his son Nick, who finally brought it to the screen eight years after his father's passing.

A sharply written film with excellent performances, well, in the first half at least. As soon as it jumps forward 10 years it all falls apart. Which is a shame because the first half is so damn good.
