Closer
It's funny how Julia Roberts got to be the lead female in Closer. I think Natalie Portman's role was much more significant and also better done. Someone agrees with me, as Portman got a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. Well, Julia Roberts is the bigger star and thus in lead role, no matter how the characters turn out.
Witty dialogue was the thing with this movie. Snappy returns and clever lines echoed with certain artifical air. Nobody really talks that way; it was hard to believe. The characters were also quite empty - they were mere surface, with nothing substantial to hold on to. I didn't like anyone (except maybe Portman's character), nor did I hate them (at least much) - it was all quite indifferent.
Fortunately the movie succeeded in being funny, at times, so it wasn't all that boring. The witty dialogue did turn into boring muddle every now and then, though. At least I now know London has a neat aquarium!
