big disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (10 March 2004)

I was excited to watch this movie after it won several awards and different award shows and universally hailed by critics. It was a big disappointment! It did not have any plot. Even the director admitted that in an interview. The characters were bored and they effectively got me very bored also. I kept waiting for it to turn around and show something interesting but that never happened. I think people who liked it were brainwashed into thinking that there is something deep and intellectual about this movie and admitting you don't like it may make you sound dumb. Hey, you can call me stupid but this is really a bad movie.
It reminded me so much about "My Dinner With Andre" which was in every critics top 10 list the year it was released. I saw it and could not believe they even made this movie about 2 very uninteresting middle aged guys talking over dinner throughout the movie. Is that supposed to make you look intellectual if you sort of eavesdropped on two old people talking for almost two hours?
