slow moving and slight in the extreme

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2004)

Apart from being slow moving and slight in the extreme, did anyone else find this film upsetting or disturbing? I know people who have described this movie as feel good, but it is anything but. It's a film pitched in sadness, centring on the isolation of two characters. This is what causes them to latch onto each other in such a sick way. The nature of their relationship is also something I find hard to stomach. It's a revolting mix of surface level interaction peppered with moments of pseudo depth, a deeply needy and deeply undignified affair. The whole escapade is a sickening dance of sycophantism which makes me sick to my stomach. As for the ending, yeah right, that's going to make things better for them. I deeply dislike the pair of them and their hateful little teenage crush/obsession thing.
Can't deny Bill Murray was very good, but that woman (beautiful though she was) was simply awful, hanging round, pouting and looking wistful. Oh purrlease! That's not acting, that's POSING!
p.s. just in case the guy who sat behind me in the cinema is reading this (you know who you are), just because it's got Bill Murray in doesn't mean it's a comedy, and just because he opens his mouth it doesn't mean you've got to laugh!
