Waiting for it to be funny

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2010)

This looks like a Coen brothers film, but it ain't.
This film has potential, or should i say HAD potential, all the right ingredients were there, a diverse plot-line, a fantastic cast and a witty script. But something did not hold all these things together, maybe it was the somewhat inexperienced director or the flow of the screenplay but something made this film plod along.
I found myself constantly waiting for something to happen, it felt like it was building up to something, but it never came....just the credits. The plot line did not grab me, it just lightly tapped me on the shoulder. This film is unique and strange but that doesn't make it a good comedy....
The best thing about this film is the soundtrack and if it was produced and directed by the Coen brothers it would of been a hit
