Wake me up when this movie is over please....

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2001)

After 33 years 8 months and 72 days after my birth and I finally found the movie that could put me right to sleep. This movie while great with camera angles, directing and lighting was a sad testament to modern cinema.
As I began to read a few of the comments that were left by users, I could not believe that this was the same group of people who found that Malcolm X was a 7.2 on a 10 star scale but that this movie was an 8.2. My God have the standards from 1992 till 2001 fallen that much.
Within the first 20 mins I noticed that I was in trouble with this film but thought better of the premium money that it takes to view a movie these days.
Maybe I am wrong in my assessment of this movie, maybe I do not understand the greater good that this movie provided to the world, maybe I can not see the true world as it should be. I asked my coworker how she had enjoyed the movie as we went to see this disgrace together. To my surprise, ok my horror, she stated that she loved it and it reflected modern society and what she was used to hearing about in the world....
Oh please tell me she was kidding. This movie could not be a modern reminder of what we see in everyday life unless of course we are from Columbine or somewhere that people shoot up store fronts and murder people on a daily.
Ok enough of my soap box. I thought this movie not worthy of the tape that it took to distribute it to my local theater, but then again, that is one mans opinion out of thousands....
Someone, please tell me what I am missing here and why I would think of suggesting this movie to someone?
