American Bore

Rating: 6/10 (18 January 2014)

I didn't get into the flow of this movie. I could see what they were shooting for, but, for me the movie was flat and boring. Great actors...perhaps given too much room to improvise...loads of meandering scenes. Perhaps with a tighter script and focused direction it may have capitalized on it's promise.It's as though the director thought if he put a bunch of talented actors in front of the screen, put in some popular songs and plenty of cleavage, he would produce something entertaining. I found myself fidgeting and shuffling about in my seat, trying not to fall asleep. Not to sound prudish ,but, what's with the cleavage? I know it's the 70s..but, seriously...overkill!. Close ups and make-up (or lack of) made beautiful women look hideous. Definitely the most overrated movie I have seen in a while. This is my first review..why the 10 line minimum...way too long in my opinion, especially when reviewing something that didn't inspire any real emotion...love or hate. As a user of this site, I prefer to read the more concise reviews especially when skimming for a general feel of the movie in question.
