Unbelievable

Rating: 2/10 (6 December 2004)

And I mean that in a bad way. If anyone sees this film and thinks it's honest, realistic or thoughtful, then I'd have to ask what kind of fantasy world they're living in. Seriously! To everyone who thought this film was even CLOSE to truthful, I seriously question your grasp on reality. You must live in a fun-house world of emotional abuse and self-deception. I can usually find a redeeming quality in even the most mediocre film, but (with all due respect to the actors and the great previous films of Mike Nichols), I have to say - this one has me stumped. It's purely ridiculous. The characters act with no discernible logic, and the women in this movie subject themselves galactically stupid abuse with unexplainable pleasure. Who lives in this zany world? Egad, it was like a bad soap opera. I give it a 2. And that's for the 2 hours I want back.
