Terrible movie. Complete waste of my time. 0/10

Rating: 1/10 (29 July 2007)

I have to say I am absolutely gobsmacked by the fact that this movie has won so many awards. It is just utter rubbish. Basically it's about a spoilt brat and an ageing perv who get it together because they are so stupid that they are incapable of doing anything but feeling sorry for themselves. You're in a different country - go out, go sightseeing, try the local food, go shopping, learn about the country, or even go and spend the day at the hotel pool, reading a good book - don't sit there feeling sorry for yourself and look for someone to cheat with. I have to say that it is beyond me how any self-respecting intelligent individual should relate to these characters. The very fact that this movie is liked by so many people is a sad reflection of our society. If you are the kind of person who enjoys feeling sorry for themselves, then by all means this movie is for you. If not, then stay well clear because you will resent the time you wasted watching this crap for years to come!!!!
