Insight into the mindset of a dirty old man

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2008)

So Mike Nichols has morphed into a dirty old man making inane dirty movies. What a disappointment. I knew nothing about this flick going in except that I mostly like Julia Roberts and Clive Owens. But really! I have heard the C word used in real life once, and I have been around the block a few times. Am I really supposed to believe that upper-middle-class people in modern-day London use it in every other sentence? (Or so it seemed. Gratuitous and shocking to me, and I am no prude.) Who do the writers and Nichols (and presumably Nichols' wife Diane Sawyer) hang around with? Oh, that's right, pretentious artsy fartsy types who may or may not be gay. Give me a break. No more Mike Nichols flicks for me. I am up to here with dirty old men, e.g., Nichols and Hugh Hefner. Ewww!
