When a screenwriter pens a successful and well-known film, they are often given the change to direct his next writing project. Jeff Baena, the co-writer of I Heart Huckabees, directed by Academy Award-nominee, David O. Russell, has turned his attention to Life After Beth. Whilst merit must be given to his drive and dtermination, there is something lacking in this film. It should be overtly brilliant, but it isn't. It’s simply satisfactory that grabs the attention from time to time, but doesn’t do enough to intrigue the audience due to the lack of pizzazz, zing or zest.
