Boring

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2004)

Boring semi-musical about an aspiring songwriter who works at a bar that teases its male customers in a sexual nature. Yes, that's the plot, and yes, it essentially creates a dumbed-down erotic atmosphere of pretty women dancing on top of bars. John Goodman has a supporting role--but so what? Any film that says, "And John Goodman" must be pretty desperate. (He's not a bad actor, but it's not like he's the best, either, when it comes to actual roles--I think he should stick to animation voices [i.e. "Monsters, Inc"] and avoid some of the other human roles he's been taking, as they all come across rather poor--"The Blues Brothers 2000," "What Planet Are You From," "The Flintstones," "Fallen," etc.)
I hear another unnecessary sequel is currently in pre-production. Why, why, why?
2/5 stars.
