It was lost on us, that's for sure

Rating: 3/10 (13 January 2005)

We had heard good things about LiT, and when we found the DVD in the discount bin at the video store, we couldn't believe it! Well, now we can. Cluttered and claustrophobic, unfunny (the DVD raved and called it "hilarious" - huh?) dark, sad, slow and disturbing. Overall, a disappointment, and we gave up after an hour. The movie takes way too long to establish the characters and their relationships and nothing pushes the plot along. Nothing was believable, and we didn't care about the characters. This is amateurish screen writing. My husband, who never throws anything out, tossed this one. Don't write us off as nonintellectuals, but this one didn't resonate with us. It ain't "Groundhog Day" that's for sure!
