One example might be: Norah Jones travels across country and has encounters with hot women of varying degrees of bad southern accents. Sounds good on paper.
Or maybe more likely the stories themselves just sounded better on paper. The stories told are familiar and inviting and even satisfying in the comfort they offer, like (yes, I'm going to say it) blueberry pie. But that's it. It isn't even particularly resplendent at that. It's more the kind of dessert that makes you briefly think about the calories soon after you've eaten it.
Norah Jones' theme song for the movie may offer some insight. She sings
... the story has been told beforeDirector Kar Wai Wong had stories he needed to tell. So he told them. I just wonder if they'd been better on paper.
I will sing along I suppose
I guess it's just how it goes
...
But if you don't try
The light won't hit your eye
And the moon won't rise
