Fertilizer

Rating: 1/10 (25 November 2006)

The word "fertilizer" sums this movie up. The movie starts out confusing but quickly gels into something just simplistic and bad. Trying to pinpoint which elements are the worst is like splitting hairs. Could it be the eternally happy female lead character dying of a brain tumor? Could it be the frantic, tense male lead played by Hugh Jackman? Could it be the way scenes are replayed over and over from different perspective without advancing the story further? This movie is an artistic way of telling us that we become one with nature when we die. The problem is that it's not good art. Basically it's message is that our bodies become fertilizer that grows into life around us and joins with those we love. It's mindless. It's prolonged. Save your money. If you must see it for it's artistic presentation, rent it. Most likely you will not want to own this.
