BOOOOORING!!!

Rating: 9/10 (30 January 2004)

What is all the fuss about people? About six of us went to see this last weekend and we all found it one of the most boring films we've ever endured. At one point I actually turned to my mate about an hour in and asked if we should go cos it was so mind numbingly dreary but we decided to stick it out - it had to get better surely!! It might have its funny moments (not many mind) but even these didn't help the film in the end. The chemistry between the two main characters was so absent and laughable I wanted to slap Sofia Coppolla round the face as a wake up call! I can't recommend this nightmare of a movie to anyone cos I wouldn't want them to bash me into the ground after witnessing its atrocity.
Lost in Translation was a real disappointment for us all after the critics said how great it was - I really wanted to like this film too.
Lost in Translation is something that I would give to someone suffering from insomnia - keep your Nytol pills and whale music CD's for Lost In Translation is the cure you need. I thought Sofia Coppolla's Virgin Suicides was dire drivel and pointless and her follow up is even worse in my opinion.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! - the hate towards this film is growing to unparalled amounts as I type - and we all had to pay 6 quid to watch it!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Gimme a Kalm God damn it!!
AWFUL JUST AWFUL!
