Are you kidding?

Rating: 2/10 (24 July 2009)

While the acting may have been phenomenal, we don't go to movies to admire acting skills, we go to get lost in the story and/or just have a good time. We were offended by this movie, we felt misled by the trailers, and it reinforced the fact that we just don't trust the movie critics. We don't go to movies very often, but wanted to one night so I researched some movie previews and reviews online. This was a brand new movie that was out so the only reviews I found were from movie critics that raved about it. We went thinking it would be a WWII historical type movie with a bent on the Holocaust theme. My husband really enjoys WWII movies that are factual. Instead we feel like we walked into a soft porn exhibition complete with full frontal nudity and sexual intercourse. It seemed like the nudity and sex would never end and seemed to take up most of the first 1/2 of the movie. We kept thinking surely it would end and get to the real point of the story. Even after it did finally end, we had a hard time focusing on the rest of the movie. Too bad because the remainder of the movie did have substance and engaged in topics I wish they'd spent more time on and eliminated the first 1/2 of the movie. We wanted to ask for our money back after the movie and it "haunts" me to this day that I sat through it. My husband jokingly says I'm no longer allowed to pick the movies and I don't blame him after this display of debauchery. This one should be rated NC17 or X.
