We talked until the sun came up
Conrad Valmont (Jason Bateman) is a rich man almost 40 “easing into adulthood.” He wants a relationship but has trouble with them. Then out of the blue, his parents while away, opt to get divorced and he is cut off because…he is. He rooms with a friend (Billy Crudup) and steals his prospective girlfriend Beatrice (Olivia Wilde). He tells neither of them of his financial situation, letting them think he is still rich. He has no trouble lying, stealing, borrowing, and being a general A-hole.

The movie has a monologue to fill in plot points and some theme ideas. It has some minor comedy such as when Beatrice claims she is a vegetarian not because she loves animals, but hates vegetables. The dialogue appears to be the film’s strong point, although it was overly pretentious, as was the film. The film is critical of people being pretentious and those who say they are pretentious, perhaps done as a way to be critical of the great Romantic novelists or those who inherit their wealth or all those critics who are going to say this was a pretentious film.

There are scenes that are similar to what you might see in a Woody Allen film, but are second rate.

The film was boring. I couldn’t relate to any of the shallow characters. Valmont was the only real developed character and he was stiff. Worse than “Arthur 2”.
