This movie is just downright corny....

Rating: 1/10 (4 September 2010)

I rented this movie along with the 2004 film Ray. Ray was beautiful and a great cinematic representation of music. I cannot think of another word besides corny to describe Across the Universe. The cringe inducing dialogue as a family gathers around the table talking about "it's not what you do (for a living) it's who you are" was laughably bad. The show people smoking marijuana and drinking in a way that makes doing those things look boring. All the songs are used in a bizarre manner. The people in this movie are not attractive and are not the type of characters one should build a movie around. I had to shut this off after about half hour. It was just too dumb for me.
