Boring!! Why was this movie so popular?

Rating: 2/10 (22 July 2004)

I must admit I had heard such great things about this movie that I was dying to see it. I adore Bill Murray and think Scarlett Johanssen is a doll. I was bitterly disappointed and bored to death with this film. It took me 3 nights to get through it on DVD because it was so boring I kept falling asleep. The only reason I kept watching was because I was waiting for SOMETHING to happen. I assumed it must get better somewhere along the way - it didn't. Plus, I thought it was suppose to be a comedy. It wasn't funny at all!! I only snickered in one part of the whole movie (Bill Murray on the treadmill). As much as I like Bill Murray I can't believe he was nominated for a Golden Globe for this crappy movie (and won if I remember correctly). All I have to say is if you need a good nap this is a great movie to rent, otherwise don't waste your time or money.
