Hoffman can't save gloomy "Love Liza"

The trailer for "Love Liza" looked promising: A grieving, half-crazy Philip Seymour Hoffman ("Happiness," "Magnolia") starts flying remote control planes as a way to escape the pain of his wife's death. However, what appears to be a refreshing film with an intriguing plot in a two-minute trailer is actually 90-minutes of sheer emotional torture.
