I expected much more

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2004)

I thought I'd get a least a minimum quota of laughs, or interest, or something, out of this movie. There were only two vignettes that I actually enjoyed (i.e. found funny). The one that begins with the guy rolling the dice and the one with Bill Murray. I thought I would have liked the Iggy Pop/Tom Waits. Nope. Thought I would have enjoyed Jack and Meg White. It was OK. I always count on Steve Buscemi and he just about came through, although he can only perform what's written, I suppose. Nothing really jumped out. No real provocation of thought, no real laughs. Great idea, but if you can't feed the idea with any substance, it winds up being pretty much a waste of time.
