"Broken English"

Zoe Cassavetes of the Cassavetes family makes her writing and directing debut with "Broken English" (2007). Parker Posey plays a New Yorker of a certain age looking for love (and she's not all oddball and frantic like in many of her other movies for a change, which is good). Women will probably really dig this movie. Cassavetes matriarch, Gena Rowlands, also appears. I'm a big fan of all the Cassavetes, so I'm giving it three stars. :-) If you want to sample some work from Zoe's dad, John Cassavetes, try "Gloria" or "A Woman Under the Influence." And Zoe's brother Nick directed 2004's "The Notebook." *****
