just plain bad

Rating: Null/10 (8 April 2004)

With few exceptions it is said that in California gambling is illegal. Rest assured however, one can still gamble at their local theatre, and tonight I lost my shirt. From the start Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, drags on and on and on. I'm not certain whether there might be a `good part' or not. No such part emerged in the hour my wife and I stomached before finally walking out. Cutting room floor. perhaps that's where the good part is. Unbelievable, or nearly so, that this cast should come together in such a superbly terrible piece of work. Looking about the theatre it was clear that we were far from being the only disappointed viewers. I can only imagine that others were envious of us for having escaped. OK, so how bad was it really? Possibly the worst flick I've ever seen. and that's even taking into account `THX1138'. Perhaps there is a more positive perspective to be had. I could say we spent our $19.00 on three good teasers, got a fourth and a bad movie tossed in for free!
If you choose to watch it. You chose it.
