2/10
High End Garbage

A good premise and nice photography. As a person with MS, I was excited to finally see a movie about someone with the disease. The problem is that Joanna Going can't act worth a lick. I believed she had MS about as much as I believe George Bush is contrite about the failings in New Orleans. The biggest problem with her performance is that she didn't become the role. She obviously never researched what it's like to have MS. And she obviously never paid attention in acting class. It just goes to prove that a pretty face is more important than talent in Hollywood. "Eden" could have been a good film: the story, the premise, the characters all probably looked good on paper. It's a shame that the producers settled for someone with a pretty face rather than someone who could actually carry the story.
