Give it up. . .

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2000)

Although I have seen many people refer to this movie as an "art" film, and it may very will have some nice backgrounds, a movie is general rated on plot and story.
Some films get away with lacking these because they are expected to be funny, but the problem with this film is it has no plot, no story and it's not funny.
With any good movie there are characters that you can either get to love or get to hate, something to relate to. This flick is a simple story of some middle aged doctor that gets his self all worked up because his little wife thought about sleeping with some guy. Big deal, it's called life!

I think the fact that this movie was a total flop at the box office says it all. Up until I watched this film I though Gummo (1997) was the worst film ever put on video in the states, I now stand corrected.
If independents or even big stars want to make "art" films, by all means, appeal to the "art" crowd, but please don't waste everyone elses time trying to market the flicks as the movie of the year or something.
If you haven't seen this movie, I do suggest watching it, say one sunday morning when theres nothing else on but golf or something, but don't go out of your way and trust me, don't spend any money in the pursuit of this film.
