Rating: Summary: Dull and boring Review: This touching movie, set in a fictitious Arizona town, has been officially labeled a "comedy" by the studio. Indeed, Tim Roth's portrayal of the non-committal boyfriend has its grin-grabbing moments: "Ya looking or buying?"However, this story is much more dramatic than anything comedic. I've seen the movie more than a dozen times and am always drawn to Fonda's loneliness, Roth's apathy, Stoltz's self-assurance, and Cate's empathy. Coupled with a deeply emotional soundtrack, "Bodies, Rest and Motion" is a MUST HAVE. It's about time (10 years) this movie was sent to DVD! But, when the studio says that these characters are "hilariously intertwined," don't believe it!
