The Treatment
The Wizard of Id, Ego, and Superego
Trailer
US Release Date - unknown, but better effin get one!
While I depplauded Comeback Season for being too simple, I will applaud The Treatment for the same reason. So why does it work here and not there? The T is a smart and rewarding romantic comedy that isn't dumbed down with impossible contrivances, like pretty much every single one released by Hollywood that either stars J-Lo, Diane Lane, Mitch Jessica Parker, Kate Throwherinthe Hudson, or Reese Witherpoop. And one of the reasons that it doesn't fall into that trap is cause the focus is on a man and not a woman. I think it was Niels Bohr who came up with the theory, Woman + Romantic Comedy = Kill Me Now. Luckily our man here is Whit Stillman's witty muse, Chris Eigeman, who plays an unlucky in love prep school teacher that falls for a upper crust widowed mother of 2 (the always ravishing Famke Janssen), much to the dismay of his Freudian fused psychiatrist (Bilbo Baggins, who sadly hasn't been nominated for an Oscar since 1982!). I hate romantic comedies, but I loved this one. And someone, please take Chris Eigeman on as yer muse, as it seems Whit has become the new Terrence Malick. Where the fuck have you gone Man of Still? We miss u and yer pretentiousnessnessness.
Recommended for those who like: Robin Colcord, the part of NYC where the Thigh Master resides, and Sex & The City's opening credits, kinda
