Not as good as people say

Rating: 6/10 (10 April 2004)

I have to say first off that this movie is not as good as people said it was, in fact I found it to be very disappointing. The humor is subtle and in my opinion barely existant. John Goodman was the main reason I continued to watch the film as he offered a character whose unpredictability sparked some interest in a almost uninteresting plot.
Its not a bad film, it just never seems to go anywhere or offer anything. I'd recommend to watch it if you have the chance with nothing better to do, just for the sake of seeing a movie that isn't trash. However at the same time, don't expect a masterpiece of cinema or a great film.
The movie isn't funny for the most part, but I guess that depends on what makes you laugh. In the end though, its safe to say I won't be watching this movie again.
