Pointless

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2008)

This film falls into that category where you wonder if you're falling asleep every two or three minutes. It seems little else could explain why you cannot follow the plot or make sense of most of what's going on. Was there maybe a manual you should have read before watching?
Relax. Your marbles are fine, and you aren't experiencing the early stages of narcolepsy either, but this film does have the capability to force normal people into a form of hypnotic sleep, much like driving on an empty motorway for ten hours without stopping. The intended plot is as useful for the film as a home-knitted woolly sock is in protecting the family car from the elements. It's one of those movies where, if you're a great fan of the lead actors, you'll drown yourself in their never-ending, cutesy tete-a-tetes and conclude it was a phenomenal film. If you're not, reach for the remote before the next onslaught of forcibly induced sleep.
