'The Monuments MEH' Indeed. Very Mediocre.

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2014)

The reviews that I glanced at labeling this "The Monuments MEH" are right on the money. This is a sterile and mediocre effort all the way around. The absolutely superb cast was completely wasted by clumsy writing at even turn. Nothing meshed well and just about every scene fell flat and felt disjointed. There are a few nice scenes (Clooney's first cigarette and Bill Murray's record from home) but those moments are far and few between and, again, felt piecemeal. To me, it seems like they wasted a terrific concept and a stellar cast and missed a golden opportunity to create art themselves.
Honestly, change the cast out and this endeavor would hit lower than a made for TV movie that's easily forgotten. I can see why the studio moved it from December and dumped it in February.
