Burn after watching

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2009)

I have no clue what this movie is about. Some things happen, then some more things happen, then something else happens, all with no real point or goal, although that may be the intended effect... Despite the talented cast the characters seem cheap and disposable. The way to make a good movie is to make the audience care about the characters, to either love or hate the characters, and this movie does neither.
There were a few scenes that could be considered somewhat funny, and I almost laughed once, but the monotony and excruciatingly pointless detail of the rest of the film, combined with the heavy-handed and almost berating style of humor employed elsewhere makes it hard to enjoy the good parts.
The profanity was overused and didn't really contribute to the film, simply having a character say "fuck" repeatedly is not funny. Violence was overused as well, while I usually enjoy dark comedies I didn't find that the death/destruction/mayhem added to the story in any real way and didn't lead to any interesting or funny situations.
I wouldn't recommend this film, even to someone who likes to watch bad movies. Although not nearly as bad as "I Heart Huckabees", it was just plain boring-which is the usual result of self-proclaimed "smart people" intentionally trying to be funny.
