This won five academy awards??????? AWFUL

Rating: 1/10 (1 May 2003)

The fact that this film won five Academy Awards tells more about the mental state of Hollywood than it does this film.
Dope-dealing teens? Sexual fantasies of underaged girls? A wife having an affair? Homosexual neighbors on one side and a stero-typed Marine colonel on the other... Throw in some very cleverly written dialogue (i.e. anything as long as it has at least one or two profanities in it) and apparently you have the recipe for an academy award or five.
That this is considered "entertaining" to a significant number of Americans makes me worry for the future of this country.
And this is a "dark" comedy? It is awful. I would not wish forcing anyone to view this movie. It is right up there with "Best Of Show" or "Blair Witch Project".
If you want to see a dark comedy, try the "War of the Roses".
1 out of 10 only because I cannot go any lower.
