Exactly what I thought it be -- Boring!

Rating: Null/10 (19 June 2000)

Okay, I must confess that I am biased against what I perceive to be "chick flicks", the kind of movie that contains a majority female cast that takes us through the Hollywood "ups" and "downs" cliches of their lives. I try to avoid movies like this and "Fried Green Tomatoes", whatever that Diane Keaton/Meg Ryan movie was that came out a few months ago, and the upcoming movie with Calista Flockhart. In other words, the kind of movie that my better half likes. Girl, Interrupted lived entirely up to my expectations. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest it ain't. Introspective girl, tough girl, shy girl, lesbian girl, and molested girl were all represented. The saving grace for me was that it was on videotape, so I wasn't trapped in a movie theater for almost two hours. From the looks of most of the reviews for this movie, I can tell that I am in the minority. I'm wondering if I saw a different version than everybody else. What I halfway watched was no better than a boring tv movie of the week. 2/10
