Pink girl furniture? Stuffed animals?
Yep, it was low key, to be sure. I also wish something actually happened in the movie. But you know, it affected me. I thought about it for a long time after watching it. I've found that people without a romantic bone in their bodies tend to dismiss it. Honestly, if you were looking for "steamy sex scenes", you really never will get a movie like this.
I loved the subtlty of the performances. Murray will get an oscar nom for this and may actually win with it. He played the hangdog absolutely perfectly. I usually hate when comedians go serious, but it worked here because he always had that mischeivious gleam in his eye. The scene with the Japaese hooker that made it to his room killed me. The character was immensely varied, yet perfectly balanced.
I loved Scarlett Johanssen too. This was a real star turn for her. She countered the Britney Spears starlet character that was running around in the hotel.
Best movie of the year? No. Top 10 though. An artful character film with lots of internal depth.
