One more time...

Rating: 1/10 (13 July 2002)

Okay; this is the THIRD time I've time in exactly a month (June 12th- July 12th)I've tried watching it. It STILL sucks.
I mean, REALLY, I HAVE tried. But is still sucks. As another reviewer has suggetsed, I tried to enjoy this movie WITHOUT thinking about it as it unfolded, and I've tried analyzing it as it went along. Ultimately, though, my June 12th remarks still apply: The soundtrack sucks (I lived through the eighties; I was there; I don't need any nostalgic, wannabe, "wish-i-had-been-there" emotions); Patrick Swayze sucks (not ALWAYS-- just here); and most of the script is puerile: "Ooh! let's make sexual innuendoes about the Smurfs and Smurfette..." "Dude! That is SSOOOOooooo intellectual.") Brazil; Run, Lola, Run, Memento, City of Lost Children, the Pillowbook: THOSE were offbeat movies worth watching... Donnie Darko is unable to hold my attention.
