One of the most tedious movies I've seen in the theater

Rating: 1/10 (17 December 2007)

A 3 hour Pearl Jam Video chronicling a spoiled kid's quest to get back at his parents for an unpleasant childhood.
I just felt like it was so totally pretentious. It seemed like I was being preached to by someone who's most notable achievement in life was running away from home and freeloading off of hippies.
Add a generous portion of man crying, soap box philosophy, and slow-mo shower scenes, all built on this rickety premise that somehow this quest for revenge was a philosophical journey, and I was hardly able to sit through this one.
Pardon me if I'm venting, but I didn't want to say anything bad about it to my girlfriend because I never like the movies she makes me see, and she's typically very nice about the movies I make her watch. After all the positive reviews I just had to say my mind.
If he hadn't died at the end, and if it had turned out that he'd spent the rest of his life writing books about his experiences than this would be one of the most hypocritical and pretentious movies of all time.
In stead, it is the story of those who've survived him desperately trying to weave meaning into what could only be described as the trite and meaningless life of Christopher McCandless
