So bad it bothered me for three days

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2005)

Where do I begin? I know. This movie was complete garbage. The acting was mediocre at best, the script appeared to have been written by a 15 year old high school dropout, the movie had no point and worst of all their was no ending. No really there was literally NO ENDING. Someone once said, "A man without a plan is not a man." This translates to film making as "A film without a point is not a film." That pretty much covers the point that I am so explicitly making. The four characters are supposed to be in love with each other. The writer tries to pound this point home but he forgets one thing. None of the characters have the slightest idea what love is and it is painfully obvious to even the most dimwitted individual. Telling someone "I love you" doesn't prove to the audience that they actually feel that way. Yet Jude Law's character tells Julia Robert's character this the first time they meet after 20 minutes together. If you told that to a grown woman the first time you met she would immediately laugh in your face then ask you to leave. I don't care how good looking you are or think you are. I really wonder how this movie got nominated for four Academy Awards but more importantly what possessed these four to sign up for this disastrous bomb? It will not be remembered fondly if remembered at all and a serious film watcher shouldn't watch it once much less twice.
