We watched "Sunshine State" this evening -- Ellen was not into it and bugged out midway through, but I was pretty captivated. I really enjoyed the composition of the movie, had the nice experience of second-guessing the director and being right a couple of times. I get really interested by the topic of zoning and development, and here it was mixed with a really gripping plot and good acting. Complaints: the old men playing golf did not add anything to the movie and did not feel like an organic part of it; Marley's drama queen mother seemed silly by and large; Desiree and her mother did not really seem to be acting in the same scene when they were alone together, like they were each reciting their lines in front of a camera. (But these two -- Angela Bassett and Mary Alice -- were such good actors that the performance was still impressive.)
