This movie received a fair amount of Oscar attention last year, so we decided to give it a shot once it made it to pay-cable. We snagged it with the DVR and settled down the other night to watch.

This was a movie with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, but no big sinking boat, no special effects, no James Cameron, and no enjoyment. Kathy Bates (who plays the unsinkable Mollie Brown in Titanic) does appear, though.

If you're looking for the feel good movie of the year (2010, 2009, 1941, 847 A.D., ANY year), this ain't it. I like to enjoy myself while watching movies but this movie was just depressing. A bunch of unhappy people having unhappy lives in the 1950's. It's like the writer watched a couple episodes of Mad Men, thought he could do better, then gave up before he started.

I'm sure there was a message or a moral or something in the movie. If you enjoy looking for that kind of thing, then I'm sure you will like this movie.

I, however, did not.
