Something Must Be Wrong

Rating: 6/10 (4 December 2009)

What I find really strange about this film is that (for me) it is instantly forgettable. I've probably had the DVD in my collection for a couple of years. Every now and then I pick it out, and say to myself: I wonder what this is about? I then watch it. It is quite watchable. A couple of days later I've completely forgotten it. I think I've watched it about 3/4 times, perhaps even more. It must be the most unmemorable film I've ever seen, and I don't really know why. Possibly it's because the things that are shown to be happening aren't really happening. If they didn't happen, why bother recalling them ? The hero has problems, that much is certain, and the reason, it seems, is because he wants to fit into a totally shallow lifestyle. He must be a buttoned-up banker, mergers and executions, with fantasies. At the end he looks just like Norman Bates. Forget it, Norman, let's go bowling.
