The most overrated movie of the 2005

Rating: 4/10 (31 January 2007)

It's interesting how this movie has become a benchmark for supposedly how 'tolerant' or 'open-minded' you are, hence many people who do not like the movie are considered closed-minded or homophobic. Regardless of what that may mean about American culture, I personally (in addition to I'm sure a hell of a lot of other people) disliked the movie because it was impossible to empathize or sympathize with either of the main characters. This is because the two main characters in that movie were postmodern narcissists who expressed their 'love' for each other by constantly bitching to each other about their confused feelings and dissatisfaction with themselves and the other. That general feeling is too overbearing to warrant sympathy, hence I wasn't emotionally involved with the characters and thus didn't like the movie. My conclusion: people who sympathized with the main characters liked the movie, and those who didn't disliked the movie since there's nothing to the movie other than its 'genuine' emotional pull.
