Star power, sex and violence are not alluring enough to make up for storytelling that fails to engage. Lonely Hearts is based on a true story, but in the end, it just leaves us pining for a better story.

Perhaps if Friday Night Lights was the first high school football story to come to the big screen, it would be one of the best. Even though the film does sport some superb performances and tackles gritty realism with gusto, it isn't the first to do that--far from it.
