Pretentious clouds of a confusing mind

Rating: 7/10 (1 January 2005)

Didn't like it. In fact I couldn't keep my eyes open after half way through. I hired it because of the big names associated with the film and (muggins) again because of the high rating here.
I warmed to Jim Carrey's character early on (not so much Kate Winslet's) and I liked the way the story twisted into a typically Kaufmanesque unreal situation. This seemed to be classic territory for him and I sat back ready to enjoy the ride I was being taken on...
Maybe I'm just thick but it just didn't seem to happen for me. I lost the plot, got bored and frustrated with the scenario. It seemed to be trying to be just too clever for me and I couldn't stay interested.
I've never switched a film off so late before but I really couldn't have given a damn what happened in the end.
