Sorry, not my cup of tea

Rating: 1/10 (14 February 2004)

This film was absolute drivel - only watch it if you thought Twin Peaks had closure, and the kid in American Beauty's cinefilm of a plastic bag blowing in the wind was deeply profound. I found it pretentious and unsatisfying on almost every level. There are no explanations for many of the subplots (Patrick Swayze's character in particular could easily have been left on the cutting room floor for all the difference he made to the narrative). Some will argue the film has artistic merit, but I'm willing to gamble there will be no artists amongst them.
Overall rating: 0/10
