Must be the shooting script that's bad. (Contains spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (20 October 2004)

I can only agree with John Seger. Watching this film was an ordeal. The first movie in a long while that put me to sleep. (For me this only happens as a defense mechanism or when the soundtrack is way too loud - it's not about feeling tired.) It's the script that stinks. Completely absorbed with being original in shape and style. They should leave that kinda stuff to the French.
But the actors do A TERRIFIC JOB. Like good actors everywhere they give it all they've got. Sadly they fell into the wrong hands with these film-makers. Like they were taken hostage and forced to do what they do brilliantly - but in the wrong cause. Jim is great, so is Kate. Elijah is fine and so is the doctor guy.
The problem with good actors is they can give life - their life - to a project that should have been shredded on day one. Sad.
BUT - the next film Jim Carrey makes I shall rush out to see whatever it is. Just to demonstrate that I love his stuff, his talent, his humor and humanity. And to say sorry for these nasty comments about a film I consider to be a baleful waste of celluloid - or whatever it is they use nowadays.
