Vastly over-hyped and deadly dull

Rating: 1/10 (3 September 2005)

I was interested in seeing this film after hearing positive comments about it and viewed it expectantly. How disappointed I was! The film is one of the most tedious that I have had the misfortune to sit through and it left me feeling absolutely.....nothing. I was expecting a charming, witty, amusing romantic comedy. This film was none of those things. I couldn't have cared less about the characters or their situation. It left me cold. I felt the same way about this as I did about that other famously over-hyped piece of dross 'American Beauty'. If both of these can be raved about in orgasmic praise - God help us, and if you admit to seeing 'Lost in Translation' several times - how sad you are!
