powder blue posterThis is a movie about sadness, about frustrated people, and about how they eventually get rid of their sadness. There are four main characters in Powder Blue. Rose Jhonny, the stripper whose son is in a coma. She works really hard to pay the hospital bills. Don’t know where the father’s boy is.

Then there’s Jack Doheny, Rose’s father. He’s been in jail for 25 years, got cancer, just got out of jail, never knew Rose before, and now finds Rose to make up his fault for leaving her. Rose never knew her father.

Qwerty Doolittle, the boy who gets sick when he’s around girls. And the last one is Charlie, the former priest who wants to be dead, but don’t have the courage to kill himself. He asks people to shoot him at his heart and he will pay the shooter 50 grand. Charlie wants to be dead because he’s very lonely, his wife got killed in a car accident, in the day of their wedding, and Charlie was driving. A priest gets married? I guess he got out of the church to get married.

The first three characters are connected. Jack is Rose’s father, and Qwerty finds Rose’s lost dog and then become friends. But Charlie really has no connection with the other characters. The only connection is when Charlie asked Qwerty to kill him. Charlie never met Jack nor Rose (or did I miss it?)

Overall, I enjoyed this movie. This is a good movie, and I enjoyed the story too. One thing though, Jessica Biel gets naked in Powder Blue, and I think this will be the movie remembered where she gets naked in Don’t expect too much though And I think a lot of people (men) will watch this movie just to see her. Charlie was played by Forest Whitaker and Jack was played by Ray Liotta.

One more thing, Patrick Swayze also starred in this movie. I really didn’t recognize him until the end of the movie where I saw the credits. I then searched the internet, and found out that he played the club owner where Rose worked. Another great cast is Lisa Kudrow, I recognized her instantly. It’s really hard to watch her play a serious role, because each time I see her, I always remember Friends and think of the Phoebe character in that TV series, which was very funny.
