Key Performances:

Movie Haiku:Unbelievably excruciating film by first time director Ariola based on screenplay by Becky Johnson. Firth as "Arthur" intends to create a fresh start for himself, but then he picks up damaged girl (Blunt in faux Audrey Hepburn mode) as a traveling companion. Eggregious waste of time & talent. Jan could hardly wait to leave the theatre. Not yet seen by Rich.
