A crashing bore!

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2004)

I know I'm probably in the minority here, but this movie was a lot of hype over nothing. It's slow, it's tedious, the characters are unsympathetic, and the plot is too predictable. I didn't care whether Joel and Clementine ever got together again or not, I just wanted out of that theatre. My husband felt exactly the same way. Sure Jim Carrey plays a much more serious role here. The problem is, everything is so low key, it's an exercise in sheer boredom. The movie also seems to go out of its way to make every character slightly off and every situation rather odd. Give me a straightforward plot without the artsy crap any day. Don't waste your ten bucks on this movie. Wait for the video, and then don't rent that either.
