Welcome to the Rileys

Twilight’s Kristen Stewart takes on a grittier role here as Malory, a stripper who turns tricks on the side in New Orleans. Okaaaay. Kinda hard to imagine her like that, right?

Then we get James Gandolfini who takes a liking to Malory and decides to start looking after her – in a platonic, fatherly way. Of course his wife (Melissa Leo) isn’t happy about the whole idea but decides to support her hubby. Playing out underneath all this is a tragedy the couple are overcoming, as well as a good few years of marital issues.

While the sentiment is plausible, the story, played out by these particular actors, is just a little bit unbelievable. That said, I didn’t hate it.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
