Sorry, not for me

Rating: 1/10 (20 January 2011)

I tried very hard to watch Milk, as Sean Penn is a very good actor and he deserves an Oscar or two. But I just could not get into this film. About 10 minutes into the film, found my mind wondering about I was going to have for dinner. About 20 minutes into it, I got bored and restless. Then I started to tapping my feet - I really need to go to the shop to get bread, coffee and something for my dog.
And the story was very interesting truthful at first glance,which is why I purchased a ticket with my friends. I guess it lagged in some areas and slowed to a crawl in scenes. Not sure whether it was the screen writers fault or the director. Sadly, I lost interest in the movie, and prayed it would hurry up and end. Toilet break was a blessing, even visiting the food stall levitate the zombie like state I was in. (I could of escaped and ditched my pals but good friends are hard to find).
Everything was excellent, the cast, the costume for the time this movie was set in, the lighting and even the acting. Still I'd rather watch paint dry than watch this movie.
Wish I can give it more credit, but I honestly can't. This film was not for me.
