A bit over the top...

Rating: 4/10 (5 February 2009)

Jim Sturgess and Evan Rachel Wood star as a pair of young adults from two different countries in, for lack of a better term, star-crossed lovers syndrome, who fight for what they believe in and end up fighting each other.
I'm sorry, but this is definitely not my kind of movie, but I made it through, anyway. I got about half-way through the film when the phone rang, and I normally pause it for such things, but I found this film so BORING that I let it play through, only to rewind it to find out what happened in the end, anyway, so my hat's off to director Julie Taymor for capturing my attention, anyway. Does anyone else feel like Sadie and Jo-Jo were tasteless copies of Mama Cass and Jimi Hendrix? 4 out of 10 stars.
