A film to wash dishes by

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2008)

This lumbering, interminable, terminally dumb romantic comedy is the kind of excruciatingly dull movie that makes washing the dishes seem exciting by comparison. I did watch it all the way through but I cleaned up the living room while I was waiting for it to end.
In this sappy story, Death becomes human, and realizes that being human is better than being a ... whatever Death personified actually is. And it takes three full hours to play this out. It's pretty enough, especially if you like Brad Pitt, but it's hardly interesting or thought-provoking in any respect.
If you watch this on the kitchen TV while washing the dishes or mopping the floor, you might find it enough of a distraction to make it worth your while. Otherwise, I'd give it a pass.
