excruciating drag

Rating: 3/10 (8 November 2007)

it takes a lot to make me post comments on a movie, especially since most of what goes on screen these days smells of a really cheap effort not even worth logging in. this piece of dreck however, was one too many.
i thought oceans 11 was OK. nice piece of entertainment. twelve was a serious mistake. 13 is not even a joke. just a way to cash in while not pretending to take viewers seriously. supposedly light, fun movie with a negative fun factor.
boring, convoluted, ill contrived plot with holes bigger than a TBM could bore. inside "jokes", puff dialogue sans humor and not a single bit of respect to common sense. it's almost as every little thing in this movie was just a plot device to overcome what stood in a screenwriter's way. from one stupid idea to another, viewers won't care. well, i don't care for movies that try to do just that.
three stars given for the sake of even worse productions that undoubtedly will have us cringing our teeth.
