If you hated "Nixon"...

Rating: 3/10 (4 May 2008)

If you hated "Nixon", then you'll really hate this movie. It's disjointed, pretentious and self-indulgent. The acting was fine, fantastic in places, but what a waste of talent. Stephanie Zacharek wrote on Salon that it's hard to summarize the plot. That's because there wasn't one! It was like watching someone flip randomly through a coffee table book. Who can do that for more than five minutes? Half way through the movie I found myself more interested in the sheetrock on the ceiling than I was in the story, or lack thereof. It says a lot when the director fails to produce interest, let alone sympathy. If you're a Bob Dylan fan (which I am) and you own a bong (which I don't) you may agree with the more positive reviews.
