Like a shaggy dog story

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 2004)

After seeing this movie listed so often as a great movie I decided to rent it and see it. This movie is like a shaggy dog story ....the first hour of this overly long movie was so boring I almost stopped watching . I should have stopped watching ! It ground on and on and on. The camera hovers over a wall that needs paint. The driver of the taxi is seen looking into the mirror of the cab over and over and over.
This is the worst movie that has been called a great movie of any movie I have seen.
What is the point of the movie? That there are a lot of nuts in the world and that New York City has more than the average number of them.
Would I see this movie again? Not only would I never see this bomb again but I am sorry I wasted my time seeing it once.
