Waste of great music

Rating: 1/10 (5 April 2006)

What makes a bad movie a horrible bomb is when there is a waste of talent, money, props, and among other things, music. Lots of lame movies depend upon great music. None of the scenes in which the songs are heard even remotely match the moods of the song, not even in opposition. They just lay flat and meaningless, like giving the winner of a footrace a picture of Albert Einstein. It makes no sense. Of course this movie is dismal on its own. The lead character, the graduate, has an affair with his father's friend's wife, and his father's friend's daughter. Which makes for good locker room humor, but a boring movie line. But after the affairs, the character has a holier than thou attitude, and a complete disrespect for anyone he knows or meets. Why is he so angry? It makes no sense. And there's no reason to feel any emotion for him. None of the characters are believable, and none of them are interesting. Bad script, bad directing, bad acting.
