Sean Penn is the WORST director!

Rating: 1/10 (14 September 2010)

Honestly how anyone can rate this movie higher than a 2 confounds me. Another artsy fartsy piece of trash that is being passed off as acceptable filmaking. Some questions I asked myself after watching as much as I could of this film..
Why was Sean Penn allowed near a camera in the first place? Did he even read the book? How much did he smoke before he showed up on the set each day? Did he work from a script or just get baked and throw ideas out there? Having read the book and watched 15 minutes of the movie before I couldn't watch any longer, I have to question the logic and sanity of anyone who thought this was watchable let alone worth an 8.2 rating..
I'll never understand.
