Never Forever (2007 R)

   The movie stars Vera Famiga (The Departed, Nothing but the Truth), Asa Somers (Clear Blue Tuesday), Shirley Roeca, Jackson Pace (Queen Sized, Cool Dog), Alex Manette, Jung-woo Ha (Time, Like You Know it All), and David McInnis (Typhoon).
  The plot is in an attempt to save her marriage, in toruble because her husbands dad just died and he tried to commit suicide because he is infertal, starts and cant end an affair after becoming pregnate. 
   The first thing out is this.  This is one of the dakest most depressing movies I can ever remember seeing.  No really.  Famiga character is obsessive about folding her cloths before having sex with the "sperm donner."  By the way there are sex scenes so parents be warned.
   There is something to be said for Famigas character good intentions.  Her husband desperatly wants a child and she feels this is her only way out to help someone she loves.  The movie is a downward spiral that seems to have no bottom. Its a desperate love story with no apparent winners.
   The end of the movie is a little happier then I would expect given the tone of the first 90% of the movie.  Im not saying its bad just it seems out of context for the movie.
   I could go eather way on this movie so for now I will rate it as a C+ and say go and stream it with a caveat or two.  If you want a happy movie stay away from this movie.  If you want to stay in a good mood stay away from this movie.  If you are sad and want something to reinforce that stream this movie.
