Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Dinner with Friends (2001)

After an excruciating first half-hour (mostly because of the incompetence of Andie MacDowell) it actually wound up being poignant. I sure do like Dennis Quaid & Greg Kinnear, although I noticed that in the scenes between Dennis and Andie, he actually seemed to "stoop" to her level of acting. I wonder if that was some kind of subconscious acting sleight of hand to trick us viewers into thinking she's as good as he is? Hmmm.... something to ponder.
