Not in the slightest bit funny.

Rating: 1/10 (27 October 2008)

There are a number of films I have seen over the years that make my all- time worst movie list. Spice Girls The Movie is probably at the top. The English Patient - beautifully filmed, boring as hell, gets to number 2. Wanted was complete drivel and so were most of M. Night Shyamalan's offerings. And now I can add Burn After Reading or as it should be known Burn Before Viewing.
It was billed as a "smart movie about dumb people". Maybe it's just me, my wife, my mum and all the other punters in the cinema yesterday. After about 20 minutes into the film and not a laugh from anyone I was beginning to wonder whether this was supposed to be a serious film.
The plot is based on a set of random circumstances that just happen. CIA Man gets fired from his job. His wife is a cold-bitch dragon who's having an affair with one of their friends. She decides to dump out-of- work hubby. Hubby decides to write memories about life in the CIA. Disk ends up in the hands of dumb ass gym employees who think they've hit the mother load.
It goes downhill from here. If this is humour then it's not mine, my wife's or anyone else in the cinema that day.
Go for a walk in the park. Wax your chest. Take the garbage out. Go fill the car up with petrol/gas. Do anything apart from waste your time on this rubbish.
