Waiting for Forevers

New movie “Waiting for Forever” stars up and coming actor Tom Sturridge. This English new movie release is a mess of drama, crime, romance, whimsy and seems to mistake a lack of mental development for innocence. In fact, this upcoming movie is almost entirely unbelievable. Sturridge plays a childlike juggler who attempts to snare the girl of his dreams by acting, well, childish.
In “Waiting for Forever” Sturridge plays Will, someone who is more pure than the ordinary working man. His everyday dress is his pajamas topped by a bowler hat. He cares nothing for having a real career or owning worldly possessions. His brother Jim, played by Scott Mechlowicz, is a banker who believes that Will may be crazy.
In fact, those who go to see the film are also going to think that Will is crazy. He hasn’t been a “wandering” juggler. He’s been stalking his childhood girlfriend, Emma, played by Rachel Bilson. At the beginning of the movie picture he has found out that she’s in Pennsylvania and is hitchhiking there to find her. Will claims that he is not stalking Emma but just going where she is.
Blythe Danner plays Emma’s mother and her father is played by Richard Jenkins. They’re the only two believable characters in this film. Emma, a TV star, is coming home to get away from her career, which is not fulfilling to her, and a bad relationship with her boyfriend, played by Matthew Davis of the “Vampire Diaries.” Mechlowicz and Jaime King, who plays his wife, do their best to put a little emotion into their roles. Everybody else in the film is either barely tolerable or worse.
The love story at the center of “Waiting for Forever” is really bland, considering how two dimensional the character Emma is. Sturridge does a good job with the character of Will, but the character is poorly constructed and there isn’t much that Sturridge can do with it. The character itself doesn’t have enough depth for Sturridge to explore whatever disorder he seems to exhibit.
Writer Steve Adams fills the screenplay with backstory rather than working on developing characters and good dialogue. The backstory doesn’t do a thing to make the present any less ridiculous. The story jumps from one crazy situation to the next. In one scene, Director James Keach even plays a bad cop. When he’s directing he sometimes seems to be attempting to establish a fairy tale kind of a tone for the story. He and DP Matthew Irving use locations in Utah to establish a postcard of America kind of look. There isn’t much though that’s going to save this one of the year’s new movie releases.
