Good Job at Pulling the Wool over our eyes

Rating: 1/10 (8 March 2004)

Continuing his recent streak of comedies (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums) where the humor is so self aware that it nullifies itself, Bill Murray stars in Lost In Translation. This overrated waste of time goes absolutely nowhere and has absolutely no message. To those that say "you need to see it more to understand it" Stop kidding yourself, if a movie is this bad but your intellect is questioned you will train yourself to like it. I've seen people do the same with Donnie Darko and other supposedly deep movies (excuse me, films)That is a very pathetic way to go through life, especially when there are books one could read that have more to say in their preface. Although I suppose that I'm just some philistine who has no idea what he's talking about, eh? Over 100 4-star reviews can't be wrong!
