Terrible - Avoid this bomb!

Rating: 2/10 (23 January 2016)

Revolutionary Road stinks. The story was stupid. The acting was so-so. The dialog was asinine. The music was terrible too -this little jingle going on in the background to what, ramp up the drama? Please.
My wife loves Leonardo and these types of movies usually, but even she was begging me to Fast Forward thru this mess.
I can't even begin to tell you in detail how terrible this movie is. It seems that the Producers wanted to capitalize on a Titanic reunion of Dicaprio and Winslet, mixing in the odd storyline of this bomb, thinking that Sam Mendes could work his American Beauty masterpiece.
Do Not Be Deceived. This movie just sucked. This couple is unhappy. Oh boo hoo, he has to commute to work each day. He didn't want to do what his father did, and that is where he is. Kate Winslet does nothing, and complains about it, so hey, let's move somewhere different. Then the idiotic sex scenes, awkward pauses, strange blow ups by various people, odd neighbors, all done with the 1950s look, and hey, you have a winner - give me a break. How Winslet was able to keep herself from laughing at her stupid lines is a miracle. Dicaprio had to really blow up a few times, but it just seemed forced, and like I said, stupid.
I would give this a 0 rating except for the fact that the costumes/background effectively evoked the era, and that they convinced two fine actors to waste their time with this mess.
Do not go down Revolutionary Road. It is a disaster.
