A Guaranteed Cure For Insomnia

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2001)

I have no idea what John Cusack was thinking, but his name is plastered all over this disaster: star, producer, writer. If I were him, I'd be afraid for my career: very afraid!
Simply put, this story about the past and present romances of Rob Gordon (Cusack) is BORING! I can generally pay attention to any movie, no matter how bad. I desperately look for something nice to say about a movie - even the terrible ones. But this one? I fought, but at least three times I dozed off in the midst of it. It is supposed to be a comedy, and yet not once did even a modest chuckle escape from me; I'm not even sure I ever smiled at the lame attempts at humour. The movie is a little less than 2 hours in length, and yet it felt as if 6 hours had passed by before this thing finally ended. About 2/3 of the way through my wife looked at me and said about Gordon (Cusack): "He's a loser." That sums up the entire movie.
1/10.
