Dreadfully slow and very forgettable

Rating: 3/10 (21 May 2014)

Good actors, but it's not clear why they need them in this movie. I'm typing this as I watch the movie, at this point about half way through I have no faith that it will get any better. I really had high hopes for this movie. My son saw it with some friends when it came out and I asked him what he thought, he paused and then mustered an it was OK, but I think that was more so as to convince himself he did not waste his money or time with his friends as they were so eagerly awaiting it. I've spent more time working on my computer than focusing on this movie because it's that boring. I'm debating just shutting it off, but I hate not completing a movie once started. There is a scene were they are playing have a merry little Christmas and different people are focused on, their faces are intense as they listen, the scene is suppose to invoke some deeper feeling, some deeper meaning, but it's just so lost that at that point more than any so far I was tempted to just turn it off. I really wanted to like this movie, but it's a mess, lacking focus, lacking passion, great actors wasting their time and not having to really try much. Too bad.
