I can't believe the high score this has.

Rating: 5/10 (10 June 2000)

Okay, I wouldn't say that this movie was a TOTAL waste of time; it was somewhat amusing at times. But as I write this, the movie is listed as #25 in the Top 250 list. I have absolutely no idea how it can have a rating that high. It was nowhere NEAR that good. I've read several other comments here, and a lot of people say what an "original, and fresh" story it is. Yeah, it's original, but not GOOD. I like the premise, but I think they could have done something more interesting with it! I kept expecting something to HAPPEN, but nothing did. It seemed to just keep rolling along with no real point to it. It didn't really seem to have a message or a deep thought for us to ponder. It didn't even throw me any (interesting) plot twists to make me really care what was going on, or to make me care about what might happen to these characters next. I did laugh quite a bit, and I liked the 7 1/2 floor bit (especially the hilariously authentic-looking orientation tape explaining the reasons the floor existed.) But I didn't laugh SO much, or find anything about it interesting enough to ever want to see it again. And I certainly wouldn't give it "classic" status. It was really a let-down for me. I was really looking forward to seeing it, because I'd heard so many good things about it, and because the story idea sounded so "original, and fresh," but it was absolutely nowhere near what I'd hoped. I gave it a 4. If not for the few laughs it did have, I would've rated it much, much MUCH lower. It was not particularly clever, and as I said, I think the movie COULD HAVE been good if they had done something more with the premise.
