When I was walking out of theater, wondering how a film like this could ever make it to the screen, I immediately got my answer. Two females in their early twenties were walking behind me, and one of them stated "it was pretty bad, but he [Harnett]’s just so cute though.” Not only are Josh Hartnett’s looks the only reason anyone could justify seeing August, but they’re also the only thing that can salvage Hartnett’s career at this point. There’s been some debate as to whether or not Hartness is, or can be, a skilled actor. August answers the question with a commanding “no.” He just better pray that he ages well.
