Ruben Guthrie
An award winning advertising executive tries to win back his fiancee who has separated from him because of his alcoholism.
'Ruben Guthrie' is rather heavy going. A host of characters most with very little back story to engage your sympathies are also rather unpleasant to boot. The poster refers to this movie as a comedy but there are few laughs to be had and viewing Guthrie's battling efforts to mend his ways feels like a very long slog.
Rather ironically for a plot about an advertising executive, the film is littered with (not so) subtle images and references to sponsors' product.
Disappointing.

The Alex Dimitriades from "Head On" fame? I can still remember "that" scene. He was, and perhaps is very lush.
ReplyDeleteThe same actor Craig and he plays gay in this movie too; very effectively I should add.
