Scenes with two couples talking amongst the four, or in sets of two, seems natural and realistic. The actors in BookendS seem to adlib their scenes of this nature (which are throughout most of the film) in a convincing way, however. Often though, these scenes become unwieldy and cartoonish: your brain perceives the deception in the same way it knows that the characters in a video game aren't real.

I have seen movies and TV shows in the past in which the actors were in a small party setting and trying to pass off random, overlapping conversation as being spontaneous. This crew of four, however, handle it ably even when said stage directions take turn and unlikely turn. I get the sense that much of this was a sparse script with occasional dialogue but mostly made up of stage directions like 'act as if you are secretly, but not so discretely, attracted to character X.' Lesser actors would have been crushed under such pressure.

It's actually a decent flick, made so by the actors. If not, send them here.I'm surprised that this doesn't have any reviews yet. O Make sure your local bookstore is signed up as part of the class action. O Or buy 10 copies and give them to all your friends!
