Am I the only person who thought this film was crap?

Rating: 2/10 (29 January 2009)

I watched this last night, based on the good ratings right here on IMDb. I'm sorry, but this film was atrocious, mostly because there was no point to any part of it. The end was abrupt too. I thought if I endured it till the end I might be greeted by a major twist and everything might have fallen into place. No such luck was bestowed upon me.
It DOES have several funny parts in it, but they seem to be out of context with the drabness of the rest of the movie. The very least I expected was to be able to see John Malchovich get shot, or see him in hospital. And the very point in the film!!! I wanted to see the results of her plastic surgery. How can they get away with just having a 2 minute dialogue at the end of the film to wrap up all the loose ends.
So in short, it didn't really get going and it seemed like it was just cut short cos they realised this is going to be a poo film so just gave up.
I know there will be some pompous people reading this who will cast this comment aside because they think they are such film buffs that they can watch a film thats not funny and still think it's funny through intellectual satire. Well I'm sorry to break this to you, but American's don't really get satire and maybe this is the most prominent example of such.
If you're wanting to watch a funny film, go and see Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. That has all the elements of a great film including great acting, a good storyline and cringe-worthy scenes that are sure to amuse.
