What's the big deal?

Rating: 5/10 (29 February 2004)

Um, maybe I missed something, but I really don't see what all the hype is about this movie. It's one of those movies that critics seem to like and awards go to, but is Boring with a capital B. The plot looks like it was put together by throwing darts at a dartboard to decide what would happen next. It's kind of like following an average person around for a couple days - let's face it, the average person's average day is a bore. True, once in awhile something interesting happens to all of us, but this movie chose to focus on the days where nothing really interesting happens. I'll give it that it's quite different, but different isn't necessarily good, which is the case here, IMO.
