First, the movie is over 2 hours long but I felt like the characterization of the trio was very shallow. Tashi looks good and is obsessed with competition, Patrick lives the tennis dirtbag life, and Art is over the hill and just going through the motions.
All of these were established basically as soon as the characters were introduced 10 minutes in, and I don't think a single flashback scene added anything more to their characters besides the first one showing the two dudes might be gay/bisexual. At least Art had the honor of being the only one who seems to change at all between age 18 and 31!
Some questions I was left with… Patrick is dirt bagging it up sleeping in his car, but he comes from money. Why? Did he have a falling out with his family? What was his tennis career for 13 years like? Why were these two so relentlessly pursuing Tashi in the first place, besides her being hot and good at tennis? Surely she has a third character trait. Idk, I feel like all these flashbacks that ate up half the screen time just go over the same things again and again.
Next up was the style of the movie. I was not a fan of the shitty nightclub music blasting out every 5 minutes, or the constant slow motion shots of people staring at each other. The last 20 minutes of the movie would've been like 45 seconds in real time. When Tashi and Patrick were hooking up in his car, what was with the unexplained hurricane in the background? I was so distracted that entire scene by all the paper flying around.
I don't usually give up on movies, but good lord this was a tough one to sit through.
