So what...

Rating: 4/10 (5 July 2001)

This is the most overrated movie I have ever heard of. Even non-mainstream media hyped it up as a remarkable piece of cinema. Garbage - The plot was wishy washy and contrived. The scene involving the neighbour was so predictable, I almost looked away as it unfolded, not wanting to be right. The film's characters didn't lend any real support to the mediocre plot & script either. It totally frustrated me thinking there must be more to the movie right up to the saccharine (supposedly non-stereotyped) ending. I honestly walked out of this movie shaking my head in amazement thinking I had walked into the wrong cinema. The hype was all wrong. It is truly a movie which appeals to the production line movie goers who want a "slightly, but not too offbeat" movie.
Renting this movie is a waste of time unless you enjoy movies like "parenthood", and "tootsie".
