monotonous

Rating: 1/10 (25 February 2006)

Never make a movie about being bored in a foreign country - it's boring. Maybe it's me, but I did not find this movie entertaining, which is the basic objective of any movie, in my opinion. I would like to be moved by a film to cry, laugh, ponder, or cringe; I did none of these except wonder why this movie was made in the first place. I was not moved emotionally or intellectually; I was only moved to boredom trying to find some redeeming value. I have found myself alone in other cities looking for something to do. I've even looked and fantasized about other women, although I'm married. However, I wouldn't expect anyone to find my boredom to be entertaining. I wouldn't expect a film crew to follow me around seeing what mischief or experience I would encounter to assuage my monotony. That, come to think of it, is the perfect word to describe this movie - monotonous.
