Flat as a Pancake

Rating: Null/10 (19 June 2005)

This movie has no emotional resonance. It is one of the flattest movies I've ever seen. None of the actors or actresses are able to establish why their characters do what they do, or why you should care. Cate Blanchett was terrible as Kate Hepburn...it was painful to watch her. Leonardo Di Caprio was like a cardboard figure throughout the movie. However I think the real weakness was the writing. How is it possible to take the biographical story of a person who led a very interesting life and make it so boring? This movie may have had some acclaim last year because last year was a very weak year for good movies, as they go.
