Self indulgent direction leads to Trainwreck

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2002)

The story was O.K....and if I could edit out all of the director's self indulgent garbage this movie might actually be watchable. It would only be about 20 minutes long, but it would be watchable.
The camera spins and whirls and the edits jump from one pointless, bizarre angle to another with such blurring speed it numbs the mind. You can tell that the director and editor know this is distracting, as anytime something that is important to the story happens the camera angles return to normal, and the awful adaptations of contemporary songs fade to nothing.
Kidman and McGregor are great, as is the rest of the cast. The direction, however seems at times non-existant.
