The Dish and the Spoon 2011


The Dish & the Spoon (2011)
     Rose feels very angry and betrayed when her husband tells her he's been having an affair.  She hops in her car and heads to the Delaware seaside.  Her parents have a cottage there and it's also where the "other woman" lives.  She meets a young man who is stranded, sleeping by the beach and it's nearing winter.  He came to Delaware to be with his girlfriend but she went back with her ex-boyfriend.  They form a bond through their despair and despondency.
     You keep waiting for something to really happen but they are just hanging out in the entire movie.  I understand their pain and circumstances but is there anything else?  Listed as a comedy but it's not funny either.  2* (I didn't like this movie)

92 min, Comedy directed by Alison Bagnall with Greta Gerwig and Olly Alexander.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 6.7 out of 10, 58% critic 63% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
