By comparison, this film consists of maybe twenty minutes of discernible storyline — almost all of which could have simply been folded into «Darker» without missing a beat — surrounded by endless
scenes of nothing much happening
enacted by a couple of actors whose
key motivation throughout seems to have been the knowledge that they would never have to see each other again once it finally hit theaters.
In Rules Don't Apply, Beatty steals every
scene — but there isn't much to take away from a movie whose ostensible main plot line of sexually frustrated youth is
enacted with such lack of interest from its
key players.
