Stupid life of a loser

Rating: 2/10 (29 December 2008)

I was a little hesitant to see this cos of Penn's over-emotionally charged material he directed before.Guess what I was right at the beginning.I'm sure that guy has been through a couple of things in his life but.It's a brave thing demands guts to leave your family like that.Overall is this the right way of telling his story.Penn is so much pretentious it made me puke.Over-long and just cos you have the rights to use Eddie Vedder's beautiful voice doesn't mean you should every minute.Multi layered time structure sure added some grip in it but that's all.Penn demands your empathy way too much, why the audience ought to feel sorry for him cos he ate a bad fruit ?
