Hard to like

Rating: 5/10 (18 March 2008)

Caveat!!! This review comes from the point of view of one, and that would be me. The movie was crippled - at least for me - by a character - the main one - that was almost impossible to sympathize with. Here's a guy that is selfish (look how he treats his sister), self-regarding (quoting "great literature"), and unbelievably naive (how he could ever have thought...). Maybe that's all part of the point. I will give away the scenery as work something, and he did have some interesting experiences, meet some interesting people. But, if most of a what constitutes a good movie derives from the viewer being able to mentally inhabit a character, who could like this one?
