Terrible Experience

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2004)

I would not have gone to see this movie unless my friend told me it had won several oscars recently (or golden orbs or whatever award is being handed out this week). Anyway, the movie stunk to high heavens. It was continually dark and gloomy and were it not***possible very minor spoiler*** for the comic relief provided by the Savage brothers (these guys had me rolling on the floor laughing so hard) this movie would have been a total waste of six dollars. Terrible direction, terrible dialogue, awful musical score, loads of non-sequiturs...and whatever was the purpose of the non-speaking spouce calling the detective from Manhattan? Good acting, especially by the forementioned Savage brothers, but there was no story in which to act. Save your money. Rent Zulu instead. Now there was a movie with merit.
