Tedious rubbish

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2004)

I had great expectations to what I expected would be an intellectual movie, dealing with a favourite pastime of mine. Although the movie has its charms, only three out of eleven pieces are acceptable, namely those with Steve Coogan, Cate Blanchett and Bill Murray, like others have pointed out. The rest is mainly rubbish.
The conversation is so lousy that it is embarrasing beyond amateurism. I sat there, provoked and almost disgusted, wondering if drinking coffee in the US would be as pretensious and boring as displayed here. They even have the same sugar can over and over again, and even the same mobile phone.
It was a waste of talent, a waste of opportunities, a waste of money and a waste of my time. 2/10.
