The Most Contagious Virus in the World is... "THE STUPID"

Oh, I Got It Alright. Here It Is, The Whole Thing...
A pretty unimaginative and stressed-out white-collar white guy (maybe an architect, maybe a movie-maker) sits down in his big first-class seat on an airplane for a 10-hour flight home to L.A. from Sydney, takes a look around at the other rich passengers while he has some drinks and an Ambien or two, then falls asleep and has a LONG boring pointless dream with all them showing up in it, Wizard of Oz-style. Except Dorothy's Dustbowl Kansas Hillbillies were FAR more interesting than the buttoned-up executive types you find flying first-class these days.
Yes, every now and then (meaning all the time these days), a movie comes along that gets so much praise from a whole lot of people. And when you do see it, you realize... We are most definitely growing dumber as a human race.
This movie reminds me of a quote I read once about George W. Bush that went something like "He's not an idiot, but he's one of those people who makes idiots feel smart because they relate to him."
Yeah, this thing's not the worst, but what a WASTE. Such a waste of technical talent. SUCH a horrible waste of great actors. (Seriously, Nardo and The Hardy together on screen for the first time, and THIS is what you have them do?!? PLEASE.) I wish Edith Piaf would've bludgeoned them all to death with a microphone-stand in the first ten minutes (Juno first please), and spent the rest of the screen-time dreaming about sex, drugs, and French jazz. And not explaining it the whole time.
