this movie has no grey matter

ugh. i don't know why i torture myself by watching heather graham movies. i have never seen her in a movie i liked, with the exception of swingers, in which she only had like 15 minutes screen time. gray matters is a movie in which a sister, gray, tries to, and successfully, hook up her brother, sam, with a girl, charlie. she does this, supposedly, in order to stop people thinking that they, brother and sister, have some sort of incestuous relationship, because they are so close and do everything together.

long story short, gray and charlie get drunk and make out on the eve of charlie and sam's wedding. in vegas. gray has never heard the saying what happens in vegas, stays in vegas, and decides that she is now a lesbian.

unfortunately, charlie doesn't remember a thing and gets married to sam. gray is left feeling confused and hopeful that charlie will realize that she really does love gray and not sam. oh the drama! the rest of the movie is even worse and doesn't deserve the effort it takes for me to write about it. come to think of it, none of the movie deserves the [minimal] energy i've put into writing this post.

molly shannon is the only comic relief in the film. but unfortunately her greatness can't prop up the film.

sissy spacek is one of the worst therapists ever on screen. and deserves a punch in the mouth for being so.
