Query: Good Cast Done In By Mediocre Writing And Direction

A good cast is undone by a "seen it, been there" script and heavy-handed direction. The script is peopled with familiar stereotypes - the Hollywood analyst who needs treatment as much as his patients because he cannot deal with his own grief following his wife's suicide; the troubled teen; the various neurotic Hollywood types. The main problem is that too many characters are introduced who remain undeveloped, so that they seem to be just filling space. Having many of them cross each other's paths has become cliched since Crash, and the ending where everyone suddenly seems to come to terms with his/her problems is just an insult to the audience. A disappointment.
