The Clasp by Sloane Crosley

1.0

Nathaniel is an LA-living wannabe comedy writer whom Crosley paints as lovable despite his utter lack of redeeming qualities, Keziah is a NYC-living designer's assistant who spends so much time inspecting other people's lives that she is incapable of realizing how much she hates her own, and Victor is a mentally ill unemployed man who goes to Paris to find a necklace that a dying old woman told him a story about. This seems designed to be a tongue-in-chic portrayal of three former college friends who meet up at another college friend's wedding and end up having a French adventure that reignites their lopsided friendship triangle -- but in actuality it is an insipid faux-intellectual melodrama whose barely realistic scenes are matched only by its paper thin caricatures-- I mean, characters. Wait, no, I didn't.
