Review of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006) by Jacob M — 14 Jul 2013

Although it had some great performances from its surprisingly well known cast, it couldn't quite back them up due to its uninspired story and its dialogue not compelling. It felt so bland for a true story like this. It was like Dito Montiel just wrote a summary of his life and hoped that it would be successful. The dialogue never had much to do with the overall story and I'm left wondering what these people are even about. Its actually a bit frustrating.

As I said before, this wasn't a total loss. It at least had some great performances but it didn't have the right storytelling to let it soar and its a shame. I really believe this could have been a lot better than it was and I don't know how it has the score it has now.
