Truly Horrific, Slow and painful to watch

Rating: 1/10 (25 June 2005)

After all the hype for this movie one expects from a seasoned director with two star actors to at least provide a movie that is not truly dull. It has to be an all time slowest and dullest ever Start of any movie I've watched.. it was painful to watch, and i love to watch both actors but still it could have used about half of it edited out to move the pace up a notch. Then it climbs at an old man pace to the actual plot and the chemistry still remains so distant that one wonders if they are reading lines from a card for some commercial, and nobody i mean Nobody in the picture is realistic or not from some beauty contest with overdone make up except for Vince Vaughan who was so out of place and the only comedy relief that should have been written into half the movie because Brad Pitt played his part so straight that nobody laughed thru half of the movie, at Anything. It was a full house and no laughs... but hey.. at least Jolie is amazingly beautiful so thank god she was cast for eye candy.. but she also played the part to her normal level of acting... which hasn't been anything substantial in a looong time.
Folks sorry for the spoilers but by the time the movie gets to the 3rd act twist you could careless and are yawning wondering.. when is this thing over.. perhaps if the director had a good editor to cut out 15 minutes from the 1st act and maybe the same from the 2nd then it might move at a faster pace... save your money for the DVD so you can fast forward for your own editing because you're going to need to.
I give it a 1 for AWFUL.. and regret spending 12 bucks for such junk!
