John and Mary is supposed to be a contemporary movie, I guess, and yet it's curiously out of touch.
Overview
John and Mary meet in a singles bar, sleep together, and spend the next day getting to know each other.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The entire charade is smoothly contrived.
Hoffman and Farrow awake to each other in a New York bed and interminably worry, via chat, fantasy, flashback and some trendy cultural reference, whether they should do it again.
There is nothing wrong with the idea of John and Mary, just with its execution.
Director Yates knows how to shape even the sketchiest scenario, and if John and Mary is no deeper than an eggshell, it is every bit as functionally designed.
