lacking in plot is an understatement

Rating: Null/10 (25 August 1999)

I am currently employed by the local movie theater, a Goodrich Quality Theater, one day, about a month or two ago, a woman about 27-33 years old asks what I think of the movie Eyes Wide Shut? "Well," I said, "I'm not quite sure what to tell you, it was interesting in a way, but just because the movie was so unique. Was it a good movie? no, it really wasn't..." The woman then proceeded to tell me that I am just too young to understand Kubrick. I was offended, if I were ten years older would I have actually encountered a plot in that movie? I mean being 13 didn't stop me from enjoying Dr. Strangelove, and being 15 didn't stop me from enjoying A Clockwork Orange. Anyways, at that same time another lady in her early thirtees was trying to decide which movie to see, after a large number of people bought tickets to Eyes Wide Shut she decided to give it a shot, she promised to tell me her thoughts on the movie when it was over. She said it was the worst movie she'd ever seen. I don't know if I agree with her, but it certainly not deserving of being a top 100 movie.
