Ummm, is there a plot to this movie?

Rating: 5/10 (14 April 2000)

Ok, sure a person could rant and rave about how this movie is an extraordinary essay of the human psyche gone wrong, mushed into the materialism of the 1980's. Or, a person could sit there dumbfounded for the first half of the movie until they get tired of trying to figure out what the point of it is, and leave to go get some take-out and go watch something good on TV. I mean, seriously, this may be an attempt to twist our minds and shock us, but there are waaaay better movies a person can rent for that. The movie had very little plot, Bateman's evolving dementia was hardly believable, and the constant mention of "Restaurant Reservations" as the definitive status symbol for the 80's businessman was over-killed in the first 10 minutes. If you really want to see this movie, wait for the VHS, or better yet, the DVD, which I'm sure will be marketed with some sort of "Extra Uncut Footage" or "Special Edition" packaging for an extra $10.
