Big Budget Boring Beyond Belief

Rating: 1/10 (24 December 2006)

1st off let me state, until this film I had not seen anything that Kirsten Dunst has been in that I did not at least leave the theater having enjoyed most of the film. Her movies are for the most part at the very least enjoyable....while the costumes were great, and Kirsten Dunst was interesting in the title lead, the movie never took off, after a very boring and uninteresting first 45 minutes. I spent the majority of the rest of movie wondering if the screen editor would ever work again after the poor editing job I counted at least 50 drops of the sound mike into view during the course of the film. I expected a lot more from director Sofia Coppola and I hope that that this film is given a quick trip to the better forgotten vault and locked away forever and both Sofia Coppola and Kirsten Dunst put this turkey way way behind them.
