Serious mistake

Serious Moonlight (2009)

Directed by Cheryl Hines this alleged comedy stars Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton and Kristen Bell. A woman finds her husband is about to leave her so ties him up and tries to convince him to stay with her.

This film is littered with problems, it is not funny enough to be a comedy and everything else is too weak to take it seriously. When it comes to the characters none of their actions seem believable while both the direction and Meg Ryan's performance are decidedly patchy at best. Writer Adrienne Shelly was murdered a year before production on this film began and unfortunately it does feel like the script was left incomplete as her previous work Waitress (2007), which she also directed, was miles better than this film.
