The Shape of Things

Adapting his own anti-"Pygmalion" play for the screen, Neil LaBute’s caustic relationship study stars Paul Rudd as Adam, a nerdy college student who begins a relationship with unpredictable art major Evelyn (Rachel Weisz) and introduces her to crass buddy Phillip (Fred Weller) and his fiancée, Jenny (Gretchen Mol). When Evelyn radically makes over Adam’s appearance and life, things heat up between him and Jenny, leading to friction between the four and a surprising revelation. 97 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, French Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles: French, Spanish; audio commentary by LaBute; featurettes.
