The film is not as bad as the critics say it is: it's not that it's trite, it's just uneventful: first she lies about having sex with the husband, then they have sex, then she dies and the other lady romps around with her hair piece. The end.
See, uneventful.
That said I'm thrilled Seyfried actually acted in this movie. She portrays a sort of unexpected villain that reveals herself in expressions and turns of eye that can make you think twice, "Maybe she didn't just become an actor cuz she has blonde hair, blue eyes and possesses a size-zero body. Maybe. But nah." And then you don't know what to think, because the movie doesn't end anywhere, according to Ebert. I agree with him there, but I cannot condone the use of confusing props like hairpieces and shit. That sort of thing belongs in a Disney romantic comedy about two Americans who fall in love in Rome for no particular reason after unfunny things happen that people find funny.
