Save your praises

Rating: 2/10 (13 April 2007)

This movie was so boring it's unbelievable. God knows what's up with all you people praising it.
Half of the movie is filled with awkward silences, then another bunch is showing a husband and a wife committing adultery on their partners (first Murray with the bar singer then Murray and Scarlett's kiss at the end). All it does is show how messed up society is nowadays, which is not news, nor is it an innovative idea.
Anybody could go into a bar of strangers and try to strike up a conversation and basically act out this movie (plenty of awkward silences ending in a drunken one night stand) and that's not what a movie should be. A movie should create a surreal atmosphere where you get to wonder what you'd do in that situation; not an atmosphere which is so common in day-to-day life.
Overall a boring movie and it only got a 2/10 rating because i liked one of the songs Murray sang in the karaoke.
