7.8? Really?

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2012)

I remember when IMDb was the bastion of knowledgeable reviews of movies. I remember when I would choose which movie to watch by picking one from the IMDb Top 100. Inception confused me, it wasn't a very good movie, but it got a very good rating. But oh well. This on the other hand...
I do not understand how a movie so devoid of any subtlety can be rated so highly. Each plot point was drawn out so crassly, so boringly, so artificially it was unbearable. No character was likable, as no character had even a semblance of depth. It was a parody of a parody, and not a good one at that. There was but one tiny laugh in the entire film.
This movie was equivalent to a school project. To give it 7.8 out of 10 is to deceive the public of what is on offer. If you want a mindless rom com, then there are 101 other movies you can choose where the characters actually are human.
This is the death knoll of the IMDb. To deceive such as this is beyond the pale. I will never trust these ratings again.
So long.
