Movie Review of 'Wicker Park' - cellphone lacking

Offbeat. This review of "Wicker Park" decries the lack of cell phone use throughout the movie.

The critique describes the film as one "of those maddening movies in which the characters do incredibly stupid things simply for the sake of plot contrivance, and everyone's problems would be solved if they simply picked up their cell phones.

And they do have cell phones. They just choose not to use them. Instead, they say things to each other like, "Meet me in the park at 3." Then one of them doesn't show up for some reason, and leaves a note for the other explaining why — which, naturally, isn't delivered in time, if at all."
