Excuse me, did I miss something?

Rating: Null/10 (23 February 2004)

This movie was terrible. It had no plot whatsoever. It was boring because nothing happened (don't give me that crap about it being about two bored people if I wanted to watch two bored people I'd stay at home). Scarlett Johansson is a good actress but her character is annoying. It wasn't entertaining(I know having dramatic scenes is a cliche but that is what a film is). It wastes the comic genius of Bill Murray who isn't funny here. It doesn't know what film it wants to be (it's not romance, drama or comedy that's for sure). It's only comedy is laughing at the way Japanese people talk, which after ten minutes wears off. It's direction is unimaginative and flat. The script must have been about 10 pages long because for absolutely no reason whatsoever there are large gaps in dialogue. All of you who put this up in the top 250 above 'Big Fish' and 'E.T.' don't like film, pure and simple. Go watch something with a smidgen of entertainment value or otherwise you're not watching a film!!!!
