Boring

Rating: 1/10 (23 February 2006)

This seems to be one of those movies that touches viewers based strictly on their sympathy with the subject matter. Although an awful lot has been made about how "ground-breaking" this movie is (and it may be, for all I know), as a heterosexual married couple my spouse and I found this movie boring in the extreme. (The couple we were with agreed.) We see a lot of movies and we've seen some great performances this year. This wasn't even close to being one of them. The question I have to ask is "If this love story was NOT about gay lovers, how would it rate as a movie and love story?" The answer is "poor." And that's what makes me think this is a great movie for people who have a particular interest in the subject matter, but not a great movie for other people.
