Waiting for Forever [Blu-ray] Reviews

Films featuring a cast of dysfunctional characters don’t have to be irritating or off-putting, but James Keach’s Waiting for Forever certainly is. A tepid excuse for a romantic dramedy featuring damaged and unappealing main characters striving to put their lives aright, Waiting for Forever dares you not to like it making it all the more resistible. Can someone really have found this story appealing enough to greenlight the project? There isn’t a moment that rings true, there are several characters you want to seriously slap some sense into, and one pines for the endless parade of preciousness and mawkish innocence to end. Twenty years ago, Robin Williams would have been making this; ten years ago, one could see Johnny Depp playing the lead. Neither would have made the film any more palatable than Tom Sturridge makes it which is to say, he doesn’t.
