Being less than enthralled

Rating: 5/10 (16 October 2001)

Well, the premise really intrigue me when I had seen the trailers and I thought this was just the esoteric type of stuff that would really intrigue me. I am not sure why I didn't like it. Maybe I expected it to be a comedy and just didn't find it to be at all humorous. I sat there wondering why it was "Being John Malkovich" instead of "Being Jim Carrey" or "Being Joe Pesci." He existence was so boring, I just couldn't buy people standing in line to pay for their chance at "John Malkovich." 5/10 is my vote.
