Must be missing something

Rating: 2/10 (3 July 2009)

I watched this with my wife after our local newspaper gave it their best rating. We knew from the storyline that it was not going to be a "feel good" movie. But I didn't realize it was going to be like watching paint dry.
First of all the movie has NO PLOT whatsoever. Nothing happens except shouting back and forth. The acting seemed very good. But as someone that doesn't know anything about the actor profession, I'd take a guess that this kind of acting... 2 hours of rage... would probably be the easiest. Just yelling and screaming as hard as you can, staring out the window, and tearing up. That's it! Aside from that, a few things happen in the movie that have no point whatsoever. What was the point of the office affair? Why spend 20 minutes on that and not have it go anywhere or mean anything? What about their friend's husband who professed love? What did it mean? Why? What was that point? What about the mentally challenged guy? Where did that come from, and how does that have anything to do with anything? I don't doubt that so many people enjoyed this movie. Everyone is different. But it leaves me confused on what it is that people saw so interesting in it. I feel like it was a 2 disc set and we forgot to play disc 2.
