Teenybooper Love Story Gone Gay

Rating: 1/10 (3 February 2006)

I can only imagine that the reason this film has received such acclaim is that it broaches a subject that has been taboo up until this point. The film, on its own merit, is strikingly ordinary. It is not particularly well acted. It is not particularly well directed. What we have here with sophomoric lines is a teenage romance story placed in a foreign setting. Admittingly, some of the mountain scenes are appealing. Some of the issues raised are interesting. The acting, though, is subpar. Quaid and the girl from Dawson's Creek are the only two good performances in the entire movie.
It deserves from true critics of movies (and not the social critics that seem to proliferate in this movie's reviews) big thumbs down. Save your money or go see Munich.
