Don't Believe The Hype

Rating: 4/10 (13 January 2006)

Managed to make it through to the end purely because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It really wasn't about very much. This was truly one of the most tedious films I have seen. Those who lauded Bill Murray for appearing in this tosh are seriously misguided. Even Groundhog Day is better than this. Stuff those who say 'If you're not sensitive, you won't get it'. To them I say, 'Emperor's New Clothes'. It failed totally to retain my attention, my popcorn was more exciting. People don't want to spend their hard-earned on 'gentle' stuff, they want excitement, escapism, thrills, fantasy - stuff that gets them away from their everyday lives. Bill Murray, please don't waste your time making another movie as tedious as this.
