Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (5 March 2008)

After all the glowing reviews on this site I expected a passable movie, but the plot is about as believable as "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes."
There are interesting bits scattered through the movie; Michael Caine was very effective as a charming eccentric. There are also a couple of good musical selections, as others have mentioned, even a bit of old and odd King Crimson, but they were cut off abruptly in every case, leaving me quite dissatisfied. It would have been nice to hear more of the Ruby Tuesday number for instance.
The film is watchable and mildly entertaining at times, but not worth the $5 rental fee. If you are invited to watch it with friends, bring your laptop and you could get some email done during the dull, dreary, meaningless parts.
