A lot of learning, not enough curves
Caught this on cable last night - one of those movies that's fine when you're at home kicked back on the couch, but you know it wouldn't really be that satisfying in a movie theater.
The story is substantial enough - talented student sculptor with adorable, loyal girlfriend falls for said girlfriend's sexy thesis adviser, and the affair leads to all kinds of revelations regarding integrity and the futures of everyone concerned. The acting is fine too - Rodney Scott (the sculptor), Lindsay Frost (the thesis adviser), Sophia Bush (the girlfriend), Nate Dushku (the best friend) all bring energy and freshness to their roles.
The problem, I guess, is that the story is told in such a cut and dry way; it felt more like a TV movie (at one point, while I was watching it, I decided it was a TV movie, but there were no obvious 'breaks' where the commercials were supposed to go; perhaps it was made for cable, not sure). If you're at home some night and it's a toss-up between another ER re-run and this, I'd recommend this hands down.
