I didn't like it when I saw it...

Rating: 9/10 (10 November 2005)

When I first heard about Closer I thought 'Oh God another romance flick!' So, I decided not to go and see it in the movies. Many of my friends did and they all loved it, but me being someone who doesn't like typical romances told them that I didn't want to see it or hear about it. A big mistake on my part! My ignorance meant I missed the experience of seeing this movie in the theatres. Finally, I went to rent some DVD's and it was there. I thought 'What's the harm?' So I rented it and watched it. But, not all of it, as it seemed slightly complex and I couldn't be bothered. Again, my ignorance served me badly. Finally, I got round to watching it properly. I thought it was OK, and it wasn't until I sat and read the quotes on this website that I realised just how funny this film was. Not only was it funny, but it was interesting and very well mad in my opinion. OK, so maybe it's a little confusing, but once I realised who was who and what was going on, I couldn't tear my eyes away. I love this movie now, I just wish I hadn't been such an idiot when it was first released!
