The Skinny: The lives of a series of indie film cliches masquerading as people intersect in tedious and predictable ways. Jessica Biel gets naked.
The Good: Jessica Biel gets naked. We know, we know, we're "shallow" and "mouth-breathers" and "neanderthals," but, look, this is the only reason people have heard of Powder Blue and the only reason people will likely watch Powder Blue. It's also the only thing Powder Blue does well. It's the only reason we're bothering to review it—we know you've heard about it, so we're trying to save you the trouble of satiating your curiosity. Let us waste the time for you.
The Bad: This is a dull and predictable collection of scenes involving actors "emoting" (read: crying and/or shouting) about their lonely, sad lives and where social outcasts make connections with good-hearted strippers and good-hearted strippers work in clubs that are tastefully lit where they perform carefully choreographed routines.
Best Extra: There were extras?
Buy, Rent, or Ignore: Ignore. Get the Biel screengrabs online.
