Wretched, boring drivel

Rating: 1/10 (12 November 2009)

If there were a lower score than 1, this movie would have earned it. I don't understand what everyone is raving about. Normally, I value the reviews of my peers on this site. Never before has the feedback I've gotten here been so polar opposite to my opinion. My family and I had to fight back leaving this movie early; and we never leave a movie early.
A lot could be explained had I known this came from the same team that churned out Leatherheads, which until this movie, had been George Clooney's worst movie.
This movie is not funny at any time. It is not clever. It is not entertaining. There is not one redeeming nugget that can be taken away from this misadventure. I can only pray that my words reach anyone out there contemplating a trip to the theater. STOP! You will never get your two hours back, and that is all you will think about when it is over. Two hours of your life that would've been better spent watching paint dry.
The fact that George Clooney, Kevin Spacey, Ewan McGregor, and Jeff Bridges signed on for this ridiculous borefest, makes me rethink my opinion of each of these actors. It is a more believable sign that the end of the world is upon us that anything I will see in 2012.
Avoid this movie like the plague. You've got choices right now....well, at least Law Abiding Citizen is pretty good, and This Is It is worth a watch. I'm hopeful for 2012 and Pirate Radio.
As to the reviews in this forum that claim "Goats" is a good movie, I would question if they have a vested interest in the box office receipts. To say this movie is good would be the equivalent of saying a pile of crap has a nice aroma and is quite tasty.
