Hate to be a gloomy gus, but.....

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2000)

I was expecting to love this movie, as almost all the reviews I read for it were positive. But overall I felt it was such a wonderous idea held back by a dark and dreary look, as well as unlikeable characters. I can't stand it when a movie presents you with a protagonist that you start out rooting for, before the screenplay turns him into a jerk. As for the story, I certinly got it's meaning, and did laugh a few times ("Maybe even Gary Sinese!"), but after it was over I just felt...well, depressed. I guess imagination can do that to you.
