hyper-hyped movie delivers expected - unfortunately

Rating: 3/10 (17 June 2005)

It's interesting how a lone idea can be made into a feature-length film, as evidenced by this "what if" miasma of boredom. I was terribly disappointed until I began to read the other IMDb reviews and came to understand that this wasn't a "serious" film - instead more of the "popcorn" variety. Now, I am only moderately disappointed.
When I invest an hour and half of my life to be entertained, I expect something... interesting. Perhaps a filmic novelty of some sort. A narrative twist that I didn't see coming. Instead, I remained five minutes ahead of this film, much to the consternation of my family. I was actually banished from the family room for a short period.
I bore you not with a filmic recap - it has been covered in the thousand prior reviews - but I will say that I only recommend this movie if you a) have never seen a movie before, b) find novelty in the back of your hand, or c) are currently using a drug that makes slate gray paint appear heliotrope.
