Bad. Bad. Bad. I can smell this movie all the way from the video store--this movie is so bad. I was so disappointed in this movie that it cannot be put into words. I like John Cusack, I like John Malkovich, I even like Jackass (another product of the director), but I hate this movie.
To see a movie with the promise of such creative introspection be blown to crap by such worthless writing and story development pangs my soul. Just the title of this movie has so much potential. The writers and director could have done so much with the idea of seeing the world through someone else's eyes, or knowing someone else's responsibilities for a day, but noooo. This movie glorifies everything that makes ours the sick culture that it can be. In the end the most selfish characters in the film are rewarded with bliss and happiness, the one person with any artistic vision is doomed to a life of torture and agony, and one of my favorite actors looses his marbles to the voice of The Hobbit (look it up).
If you ever wanted to add more hours to your day, simply skip seeing any part of this poor excuse of capitalizing on a pre-established name. There--now you have the 112 minutes of my day, I flushed down the toilet by watching this movie.
