I want that time back!

Rating: 4/10 (4 December 2004)

I heard MANY people on the way out commenting on how this was the worst movie they ever saw or how they were relieved it was over. I laughed, while I thought it was bad - I have seen much worse and I was fascinated the way people are with car wrecks (not me personally, I'll take a bad movie).
Clive Owen and Natalie Portman were amazing. And the only likable characters. Julia Roberts acted very well, but her character was detestable - one of those people who thinks guilt excuses hurting others and having no morality. Jude Law also acted well. Julia and Jude were unsympathetic characters - to the point of detracting from the value of the movie as a whole. I just didn't care about them! They should have left and given us Natalie and Clive for the rest of the movie. And their characters were half-baked and shallowly written - the acting carried them up.
Filthy - was it just because Julia Roberts was in it that it didn't have MPAA problems? I wasn't personally offended, but I can't believe this got away with the rating it did when puppets were found offensive by the cowardly puritans at the MPAA.
Badly edited.
The timeline was choppy - but because of how bad the story was it was a relief.
Strip Club - been to them, have no problems with them, was the best part of this lame movie.
And what's with the fake or real name?
Can I have the time back? You can keep the seven dollars.
