that was retarded

Rating: 1/10 (26 November 2007)

Yep -- that's exactly what I said when the film faded to black and started rolling the credits. The rest of the theater sat in shock and disbelief. I think I heard "Is it over? It can't be over." a few times. What a complete waste of $4.50 (we went to the matinée) and 2 hours of my time. So, apparently this movie was supposed to be "deep" and "thought-provoking" and the viewer was supposed to find "hidden meanings". There aren't any.....anyone who is giving this praise is just trying to find something good to say about it because they don't want to admit the fact that they wasted their money on a Coen brothers film. (but it's the Coen brothers -- it HAS to be good?!?!) It didn't have hidden meanings, it wasn't deep, and it didn't provoke any thoughts -- except one -- What the heck did I just watch? Loose ends, crazy plot jumps, and completely unnecessary scenes. If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you not to waste your time and money.
