“Juliet, Naked” stars Ethan Hawke, Rose Byrne and Chris Dowd in
this film directed by Jesse Perez and written by his sister, Evgenia,
Tamara Jenkins and Jim Taylor. With 3 co-writers you would expect that
the end product would be more than a simple film with a simple plot but,
unfortunately, it is not. I was never too great a fan of Ms. Byrne, but
she shows a side of her ability in the role she plays that makes her
endearing and enjoyable to watch. Mr. Dowd and Mr. Hawke also add to the
film but all of them cannot overcome the basic shallowness of the
script and lack of the depth of the characters they portray. I give the film 2 stars notwithstanding the fine efforts of the 3 stars in it.
