Please Make It Stop

Rating: 2/10 (24 January 2002)

The odd practice of using modern rock music to portray the early 20th century was interesting at first but soon became tedious. The audience is set up early to expect a roller coaster ride of visual effects and absurd situations, unfortunately, neither of which are ever delivered.
I found myself wondering if I was supposed to be laughing at this or walking out. I was overjoyed when it finished because at last I could go home and watch paint dry, which I'm certain would have been much more entertaining.
This is a movie that either takes itself too seriously or not seriously enough, and its only redeeming feature is Nicole Kidman in lingere.
