"Don't listen to anyone but yourself."

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2001)

One of the recent comments for this movie said "One word of advice: Don't listen to anyone but yourself . DON'T pay attention to the commentaries people throw at the theater. They just don't get it!". The thing is, I DIDN'T listen to anyone but myself, and I still didn't like it. And I believe I entered that theatre with an open mind. In fact, if anything I was excitedly anticipating seeing a movie I would really, really enjoy, given that every review I'd seen had run out of superlatives when trying to describe CTHD. And ... I was completely disappointed. All I could think as my husband and I left the theatre was "That's the movie everyone loves? I didn't enjoy it - what's wrong with me?". Well, the answer is, there's nothing wrong with me or any of the other people who didn't like it. Our taste is just different, that's all. I probably didn't "get it" - I have a history of missing subtle points in movies - but there are plenty of people in these comments who do "get it" and still didn't like it!
