The Shape of Things 

Searching the HBO GO catalog, I came across The Shape of Things and I decided to watch it because I enjoy seeing Rachel Weisz movies because she is such a good actress in just about everything she does. The Shape of Things is mainly an uneventful movie with a shocking surprise ending. Besides Weisz, Gretchen Mol, and Paul Rudd star in this movie.

Adam (Rudd) is a shy, nerdy college student moonlighting as a museum guard when he first meets Eveyln (Weisz). She's an artist who is about to deface a statue of Zeus as an act of protest. Sparks fly between the two, and they're soon an item. Adam's engaged friends – quiet Jenny (Mol) and domineering Phillip (Weller) – are at a loss to understand the attraction, since Adam and Evelyn are complete opposites. Jenny is wary of Evelyn, but for Phillip, it's hate at first sight. Gradually, as he spends more time with Evelyn, Adam begins to change – he loses weight, turns in his glasses in favor of contacts, gets a haircut, starts wearing hip clothing, and agrees to a nose job. And, in addition to re-shaping his appearance, Evelyn gradually insinuates some of her own ideas and characteristics into Adam's personality. The consequences of this, especially as they involve Jenny and Phillip, are not entirely what Evelyn expects.

I will not reveal the ending but it makes me mad for many different reasons. This is a good movie and I recommend it highly.
