“Joleen is a woman stuck in yesterday.” The trailer for Sleepwalking, the new film starring Charlize Theron, Nick Stahl, AnnaSophia Robb, Dennis Hopper and Woody Harrelson, exemplifies a terrible grasp on the power of italics. As for the rest, it’s sad to say as the cast is eclectic and has stories for days, but I’m ready to flick this film off to the overpopulated land of promising-indies turned unnecessary-and-forgotten-bummers.

Theron plays a rolling stone mother, Joleen, who abandons her daughter (Robb) to take off on the road with a random guy, right after the two move in with her younger brother (Stahl). So, the younger brother must care for the neglected daughter, and after a confrontation with his and Joleen’s crazy father (Hopper), he realizes he needs to be this young girl’s dad. Not sure where Woody comes in, but he offers some proto-Woody advice in the trailer. I can go either way when Theron explores a “crushed with eyeliner” role, but nothing shown here clicks, especially the character intros. And the wild horse(s) was a bit much, as well (Thanks Eric)

Sleepingwalking, directed by the other Bill Maher, opens on March 14, 2008.

    Oh, whoa. I forgot the wild horses! Thanks a mill, adding now.

    Thanks but I still think that trailer is confusing.

    Why is the father mad at Stahl’s character for feeding the horses?

    Confusing

    It’s Dennis Hopper.

    I know that.

    I mean like when he says.
    “Did I say for you to do that?”
    Then Nick says.
    “It was my idea.”
    Then D. says
    “I figured that.”

    Like, why is he yelling the first line, then saying the second line so calmly? That is really what I meant

    Not trying to be rude or anything but I still don’t understand.

    Lulz. Hopper’s career is based on strange pentameters, random changes in mood, and nonsensical behavior.
