You need to make an effort to like it

Rating: 6/10 (11 March 2008)

When it ended, I was the only one in a crowded theater with accepting it was a decent movie, everyone was just hoping they would have just gone to another movie. And I find it interesting because I'm a movie aficionado and I make an effort beyond regular public to understand the whole movie. It certainly has bright and cool moments, metaphors and stuff to reflection about, but overall it's extremely boring to follow. Most characters don't make any sense at all, and they seem to be mocking Texas people more than developing a plot. And guess what, it could have been developed much better, but instead it just ends and they focus in some subplot no one cares about. I seriously doubt everyone enjoys this movie at an average of 8.5/10 (03/11/2008). Maybe the rating is there because only aficionados care enough to rate a movie on an internet site. This is definitely not that good. I also have a theory some people make an extra effort to like it because it won some awards and some respected critics liked it, so they want to get along. Then, and only then, you can put aside all the flaws and unnecessary boring parts of this movie, you can see it as a great movie. For me, this is not acceptable. The movie is just OK for me, the rest of my family thinks is one of the worst they've seen.
