A movie based on absolutely nothing new.

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2004)

After watching and deliberating over this movie, I was left completely empty. Based on the reviews I have read, which claim this is Bill Murray's acting triumph, I was expecting a plot that had creative dialog. What I received was an empty movie filled with the same thoughts and inner turmoil we all struggle with on a day to day basis. The only aspect of this movie that offered anything refreshing was the couple never consummated their relationship. This movie was 9 1/2 weeks without the sex.
All people feel insecure at times. All people wonder if the decisions they have made are the right ones. Who doesn't believe that what they want will be fresher and more exciting than what they have? This movie is based on typical experiences that everyone feels throughout their life. It's not worth the celluloid used in it's production.
Bill Murray's acting triumph? maybe, if you compare this role to Caddyshack and Groundhog day.
This movie is dry, boring and uneventful. I was waiting for an ending which would give me some degree of satisfaction. A kiss on the cheek, a smile, and the taxi drives off. Hasn't that been done a million times before?
1 Star. Nothing more.
