“Starcrossed” (*1/2 out of four) was a lugubrious effort about a down-on-his-luck writer (Grant Harvey) who encounters a mysterious stranger (Mischa Barton) and over the course of one night they get to know one another’s pasts and begin to re-write both of their futures. Mildly interesting at first but gets slower and talkier as it goes along and gradually all involvement begins to dissipate. Harvey and Barton both do what they can with thinly written roles but this is still an unlucky crossing for both. Eric Roberts adds some style in a throwaway cameo towards the end.
