Are the critics sucking up to coppola? Cos this movie sucked

Rating: 2/10 (24 September 2003)

So, I went with great expectations to this movie. I thought the title was brilliant. Unfortuantely that was all that was brilliant. The first 1/2 hour had a few laughs and the last 1/2 hour had some poignancy. Wonder if the director fell asleep in the middle. I was irritated by the repetitive shots of the Tokyo skyline and the actress sitting on the window sill looking out. We get it! she is bored -- Do you have to bore us to?? especially when we paid good money. If it was a book, I would have skipped through most of it, unfortunately you cant really do that in a movie...
