yawn

Rating: 1/10 (21 August 2011)

This movie is horrifically boring. Your time would be better spent staring at door handles. I wish I could give this a 0 out of 10. I feel robbed of my time and sanity by this experience. I could go on and on, and in fact I will because IMDb apparently requires that I take 10 full lines of text to communicate to you how utterly awful this movie is. How is this considered a great film? Was life really this boring in the 50s? I've always mocked people that enjoy the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I'll take 9 hours of that over 90 minutes of this excruciatingly boring drivel any day of the week. Let's recap: only one set, no true rising or falling action, no satisfying conclusion, no compelling characters (because none of the characters are developed in depth), no meaningful relationships between characters, no romance, no action, no... anything. Words are inadequate to describe how betrayed I feel be the various friends and reviewers that have recommended this movie to me (and, yes, I am deliberately using the term movie instead of film). Do yourself and America and favor -- rent the copy of this movie from your local Blockbuster and put it in the microwave.
