The Shape of Things

I must admit I wasn't really into this movie until I got to the end...and it hit me like a fish in the face. This film is a great example of why you should stick out a movie and see it through because you never know how you'll feel about it until the credits are rolling. Paul Rudd stars in this film as Adam along with his two friends, Phil (Fred Weller) and Jenny (Gretchen Mol). Adam meets Evelyn, played by Rachel Weisz, while working at the museum one day and they sort of hit it off. She actually came into the museum to deface a sculpture. She's an art student, you see, getting her MFA at Mercy College. She kind of fits some of the "artsy" stereotypes and soon starts getting Adam to change some of his ways to make himself more atractive, hip, and cool. At least according to Evelyn. She eventually starts trying to manipulate Adam's friendships and relationships with other people. In my opinion, she was really starting to get out of hand. Now we've come to the climax of the story - the ending. It pretty much wraps everything up and answers all of those unanswered questions. I sure didn't see it coming.
