Typical Projection of Society's Lack of Moral

Rating: 1/10 (29 January 2001)

How this movie ever got in the top ten, much less an award for best picture, is beyond me. This is not a movie "artistically depicting the trauma of modern life" in as much as a horrible piece of filmwork that never should have hit the big screen. While the actors did a fantastic job playing their parts, the plot was lukewarm at best. A movie that was cornerstoned on sex, it jumped on every opportunity (and some that didn't even present themselves) to show scenes of an unnecessarily graphic nature. It depicted a "modern family" to be one of total disfunction. I can't stress enough how disgusted I was having seen this movie after all the hype it received. I think it's a perfect mirror of how morality in modern society is non-existant.
