Absolutely Awful

Rating: 1/10 (16 October 2002)

OK I thought the only rating of 1 I would ever give would be to Hollywood High, but this movie almost matches it's awfulness. At least Hollywood High knew it was just an excuse to show some nudity (it was however mistaken in thinking it was a comedy). I digress. The point being that The Beach had no idea what it wanted to be. Is it a love story, and adventure, a psychological drama, a drama... who knows. Every time it seemed like it had finally made up it's mind the story line would change and ramble incoherently in another direction. I was speechless after watching it. I demand 2 hours of my life back, ok I know I can't get it but how about an apology for wasting my time (and my $ back if it isn't too much trouble). The only thing worth seeing in this movie is the beautiful scenery, but you can get that on the travel chanel for free.
