Really?....This movie is a mess!

Rating: 2/10 (7 July 2012)

This movie is very strange indeed. The whole movie felt kind of like an attempt to be Napoleon Dynamite spiced up with some violence and sex. It featured the same quirky acting and over the top, forced awkward style of dialog and facial expressions. Sam and Suzy characters reminded me a lot of Napoleon and Deb.
That is were the minor (pun intended) upside this movie ends. The plot is thin, the acting by Bill Murray and is pretty weak. Bruce Willis is decent I guess. I literally only laughed out loud one time through out the whole movie. Then I started to fall asleep, because the plot was going nowhere. The average age of the patrons in the theater was probably about 60 so maybe they thought of this movie as reminiscent of their childhood in the mid 1960's. Maybe I am just to young, but I found this movie to be extremely boring.
What really left a bad taste was the scenes of violence which were portrayed in a very strange way. In one scene, a kid gets stabbed in the back and a dog gets killed by getting shot with an arrow through its head. Both of these feature realistic portrayal of injury including blood dripping down arms and from wounds. I thought this was supposed to be a cutesy type movie? Later on, Sam survives being struck by lighting and only gets "charred" in a "slap-sticky" attempt at humor. Quite odd indeed.
As if this isn't enough, the border-line child porn brings this disaster to its knees. I will just say that the scene on the shore was quite disturbing considering these kids are 12 years old!!
