Other Crap

Here's the trailer from Laura Linney's latest "unfulfilled woman movie", P.S.:

• "Louise Harrington (Linney), a divorced, thirty-something admission's officer at Columbia University's School of Fine Arts is intelligent, pretty, successful, and ... (Here's a big surprise for a Linney movie. Wait for it ... ) ... unfulfilled. That is, until a graduate school application crosses her desk and she arranges to interview the young painter. When Scott Feinstadt appears, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Louise's high school boyfriend and one true love, an artist who died in a car accident twenty years earlier. Within hours of the interview, Louise and Scott have embarked on a passionately uninhibited older woman/younger man affair. But is Scott just a reminder of Louise's lost love? And is Scott just trying to wheedle his way into the Ivy League? Adding to the romantic complications is competition from Louise's best friend from high school, Missy, who shows up to claim the affections of the boy; Louise's co-dependent ex-husband Peter; her cynical mother, and fresh-out-of-rehab brother."
• Isn't this basically the same plot as every other Laura Linney movie? In terms of doing the same thing over and over, she's becoming the female Hugh Grant. I'd like to see her packin' some heat in her next role, maybe one of those bad girl roles that Gina Gershon or Lena Olin would normally play.
