Very disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (14 September 2006)

After hearing and reading all the rave reviews this film received, not to mention Murray's Academy Award nomination, I could not wait to see this movie. All I can say is that is was very disappointing. I suppose I should preface this by noting that a film does not have to be full of explosions or have impressive CGI to interest me. Nor do I take issue with those who find this film a cinematic masterpiece. I simply found this film dull and boring. The weekend I rented it, I watched it 4 times, hoping that I would have an epiphany and "get" it. This did not occur. I have read all the wonderful comments about this movie posted on this site and still don't "get" it. Perhaps it is me. Anyway I seldom post reviews on this site as there are so many others who write and express themselves much better than I, and try to never post anything negative. I suppose I am posting this for all of us who found this film dull, boring, and pointless.
