Winter Passing [4/10]

I knew nothing about this flick other than what I read on the back of the DVD case, but I expected it to be at least a mildly pretentious and probably rather forgettable. I was wrong on both counts. It's so horribly pretentious and cliché that I probably won't be able to forget it for quite some time. How could I forget poor wayward Zooey Daschanel who's so "numb" (Zach Braff's word, not mine) that she engages in promiscuous sex (gasp!), chronic drug use (heaven forbid!), and has to repeatedly slam her hand in drawers just to feel (give me a fuckin break). It's just a shame that Will Ferrell (at his absurdist best) and Ed Harris (at his drunken pathetic Pollackesque best) have to have their performances go for naught.
