I was disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (29 October 2001)

I read all the critical acclaim that this film has received and was ulitmately disappointed upon seeing it. The main thing that bothered me was that the script, storyline situations, and dialogue were all very cliched, hokey, and predictable. I felt as if I was watching an "ABC Afterschool Special" with profanity added to it. Some of this dialogue made me laugh, it was so hokey! I also don't understand the character that Angelina Jolie played. Here she was supposed to be a sociopath and was successfully portrayed as such until the end of the movie. Then all of a sudden she is a crying mess because the others have hurt her feelings? Huh? Sociopaths don't feel psychological hurt or pain! And I also think Jolie's performance is overrated. Chloe Sevingy did so much better in her film and should of won the Oscar. It must be so nice and convenient to have a bloodline that pretty much guarantees you important awards. The only thing I liked about this movie was the acting. It was superb, every single actress just gave a dynamic peformance. I especially like Brittany Murphy. Even she did better than Jolie. Other than that, this movie blew!
