Boring

Rating: 3/10 (29 May 2006)

Artistically, this movie is good. But the main thing I remember about it, when I saw it in the theater in 1987 when it came out, was how damn boring it was (to both my parents and to me).
I recall this scene of the boy who eats liquor-filled chocolates because there is no food, and then starts riding a bike inside his house. Boring.
I remember the John Malkovitch character, the Oriental boy on the other side, various other elements. But even as I write this review, the main feeling that floods me is that memory of how slow and boring this movie was. How did this get a 7.5 star rating?
