Gray Matters

This movie was so close to being really good yet our director seems to veer off course at every important point. I did love our introduction to Gray and Sam the brother/sister duo whose lives are so intertwined that several people mistakenly think they are a couple. As an aside, I did not know Heather Graham could dance so well. Back to the story. When they learn of the couple thing, they both get mildly weirded out and decide to find a partner for their sibling. Gray has shockingly amazing success on their first try when they run into Charlie in the park and she sets her up with Sam. Those two hit it off so well that we get a quick wedding. This sets off some biological explosion in Gray that has her suddenly feeling like she's gay. Dr. Sydney, her therapist(Sissy Spacek) can't seem to help. Luckily, Gray has befriended a super nice taxi driver Gordy who gives better advice than Merlin the Magician. Without giving too much away, that's your story. Bridget Moynahan was great but Alan Cumming as Gordy probably gets the most laughs. But is this comedy? Tough to tell. That's where I have a problem with the directing. Everything turns out too cute as Gray struggles with her "coming out". I don't have a problem with it not being realistic as some point out, I would just like it to be consistent instead of all over the place.
