Moonlight Mile Movie Synopsis
When Joe Nast's (Gyllenhaal) plans for marriage change due to an unexpected loss, he wants to be the man he believes everyone wants him
to be - dutifully bereaved husband-to-be, and perfect would-be son-in-law to Ben (Hoffman) and JoJo (Sarandon). But when another woman unexpectedly
enters his life, he's quickly torn between fulfilling his new role and following his heart.
a curious melange of talent, ranging from a wonderful performance form Susan Sarandon to a typically OK Dustin Hoffman characterization to a surprisingly glum and noncommittal effort from the younger actor - almost as if he could not get a real fix on the character. The result was uneven dramatically, and unsympathetic to the young man`s character. Some nice thoughts toward the end of the movie, but presented in a very preachy fashion. Thus, the movie tried very hard to be likeable, but my response was mixed.
I thought this movie was too over dramatic and depressing.
Sometimes, it`s hard to find a place you can fit in because you`ve already belonged to somewhere. Sometimes, it`s hard to realize you received something from somebody because you`ve already had it. Sometimes, it`s hard to know who you really are because you are who you are. Sometimes, it`s hard to feel whether you love someone because you`ve already fell in love. This movie told me those little but very important things.
