Blueberry Nights

There it was, I had "acquired" a copy of My Blue Berry Nights. The film stars Miss Norah Jones, jazz/pop superstar. It also featured Jude Law (whom I adore since his turn as Alfie) and Natalie Portman (whom I can't decide how I feel about). The film is a mish mash of multiple story lines connected by Jones. She does contribute songs to the mostly stellar soundtrack, but does not actually sing in the movie. My immediate reaction after seeing it? AWFUL! Jude Law was a little too intense, Jones a little too starry eyed with little substance to her character. Portman had a stand out performance, but still fails to bring real life to this hum drum film.

I was quite disappointed, to say the very least.
