A horribly over-rated, over-acted farce

Rating: 3/10 (23 August 2001)

I can't believe this film. I would have dismissed it immediately if it wasn't for its so-called "reputation".
I could stomach the violence, the "symbolism" and even all the weirdness, but I could not stomach the absolutely TERRIBLE overacting in this movie. For some reason Kubrick made all the actors perform as if they were in a high-school play or in some 70s sitcom. I kept thinking "Monty Python" and waiting for the punch-line, which, of course, never came.
A lot of comments here say that you'd need to view this film more than once to start to appreciate it. I say even one viewing is one too many - this farce is simply not worth your time.
