Boring, boring, boring ... and seemingly pointless

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2014)

There are many slow-moving movies that are full of meaning and depth. This is not one of them. It drags on and on and on and on and provides not a shred of moral decisiveness or character development. If the character portrayed by Channing Tatum is supposed to be "slow" and/or autistic, then he did a great job, but I can't find where his character was meant to be so afflicted. You didn't see a single thought flash across his face the entire film. Steve Carell did a fine job of acting, but his character, too, showed no depth nor development. Mark Ruffalo provided a fairly solid performance and somehow overcame the dismal script that plagued this movie. No one else succeeded in that regard. I wouldn't watch this movie again if you paid me half a million dollars. A million, maybe.
