I'm sorry I wasted my money!

Rating: 1/10 (27 March 2000)

I hadn't heard much about this movie before I went to see it, other than it was up for a whole bunch of Academy Awards. Now that I've seen it I can't for the life of me think why.
Not only did it not capture what real life is about (haven't the Americans learnt about the impacts of "suggestive ideas" at the cinema?), but it was completely boring. I couldn't even manage a smile at this supposed comedy. It went past satire to inane.
Annette Benning's performance was flat and Kevin Spacey wasn't much better. The only person who provided any light to the film was Wes Bentley - he was at least believable, maybe because he didn't talk so much.
All, in all, I'm sorry I wasted my money (and thus my consumer power).
