A Reel Yawner

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2004)

If this wins an Academy Award for anything, then the Academy is totally whacked. Believe the other reviews that note this film as boring. It's true, absolutely nothing happens. Perhaps you'd enjoy watching Bill Murray brood for two hours. If so, be my guest. There is a scene in the movie that was obviously thrown in just so it could garner its R rating, otherwise, it could be rated PG. There were a couple of scenes early on that did actually make me laugh, so I thought there was some promise. I was fooled. This is nothing more than a sleeping pill wrapped in a DVD. It's not a romance, it's not a comedy, and I certainly wouldn't call it a drama. Perhaps you can figure out what it is, but it really isn't worth your effort.
