Plot Summary - Sort of black comedy about a weird, reclusive sort of guy (Wes Bentley) - (deadpan-expression is his usual look) - who is a writer/poet currently running a web business called "The Last Word" in which he composes the, yeah, last words - sort of epitaphs - for people who are contemplating suicide. While attending one of his "clients" funeral (he does that a lot) he meets the victim's attractive sister, Charlotte (Winona Ryder), a dark horse indeed. She phones him and chases him, he - for some unknown reason - at first seems uninterested. Her stalking pays off (maybe it helped when she does the - um - deed with him in broad daylight on the roof of a downtown L.A. building in full view of hundreds of windows overlooking from other buildings) and soon they're a couple. She is a pretty weird chick too, yet they don't seem like that great a match - maybe it's 'cause he lies to her about what he actually does for a living and all his deceptions steer her the wrong way.
Review - Okay, I'm not super keen usually on black comedies - this was just okay. Ray Romano adds a bit of amusement to the mix as one of his clients, Wes Bentley is just too boring to make this interesting (yeah, I know, the character is supposed to be sort of boring - but hey, what can I say). Bland one. Rating - 6.5/10 stars
