I watched this for John Belushi & Talia Shire. They were both great, but unfortunately, they were in this movie.This movie isn't terrible, but it is wholly uninteresting with a fairly one-note character at its center. Talai Shire does her job well with what was given to her, and the supporting cast is good, particularly John Belushi as the asshole, Eric. The direction isn't the worst, but Paul Schrader & Leonard Schrader's script doesn't pack the punch required to make the buildup worth it.

the main character feels underwritten and her actions don’t totally make sense to me to the point where i couldn’t focus on the movie because i was too busy trying to decipher her. idk i was just a bit underwhelmed at times but talia shire was good
i need to watch her in more things

Kicking John Belushi out of your car after he serenades you is fucking mad
