Not Even Close

Rating: 1/10 (30 July 2008)

We all have that Uncle who insists on showing his vacation films anytime you are together. He comments incessantly and moronically throughout as well as, and here's the biggest problem, he NEVER cuts anything out of it. It's the most awful, boring time you ever have to spend. That's exactly what Cloverfield felt like. They give the camera to the biggest moron of the group, and one never feels a thing for him or his insipid stupidity. The first 20 minutes could have been done in five. The rest of the movie fell flat on its face. Probably a perfect movie for tweeners and those people who see the world only through their Blackberries.
