ONCE is too much.

Rating: 1/10 (17 July 2007)

Often unintelligible Irish brogue (and Czech accent from the girl), a street beggar playing a busted guitar and howling incomprehensible lyrics, and a movie that went nowhere after one whole hour. I left.
I wandered into the theatre (after paying $9 for a midafternoon show) as I had a few hours to spare and this was the only film with a convenient starting time). Had read the glowing reviews. Big mistake. A wasted $9 and a wasted hour.) Perhaps the movie went on to develop into something worth all the raves from other viewers, but if the story hasn't "grabbed me" after a whole hour, the likelihood of improvement is too slim to merit any further patience.
