The minor character of Gearhardt, played by Alan Tudyk of all people, was possibly the worst character I have ever seen onscreen. Then she makes a U-turn, pretty much out of the blue, and all of sudden it's about stupid comedy, over the top drama, a love interest that feels out of place, and some really strange plot choices altogether. Her attitude was that of an addict, and Bullock really captured the persona of someone in rehab. The character was sloppy yet superficial, and very mean tempered. The beginning was well structured, had emotional depth, and resonated. Though her performance varies between the girl next door personality she achieves so well in her romantic comedies and the dramatic, which she struggles with in some of her other films, here she grasps it easily enough. Bullock, who would go on to make more dramatic films with awful scripts, is the shining light in the midst of the darkness, as per usual. Lifeless, soulless movie about a subject that isn't shown the respect and reverence it deserves.
