A Big Disappointment

Rating: 4/10 (30 January 1999)

I came out this movie, along with the majority of the audience, with an air of stunned disbelief. This movie definitely did not deliver on the hype. The narration throughout the movie took the form of a stream of "poetic" ramblings. I thought this element detracted from the movie and left you wondering what what the purpose of this was. The plot was very weak and for the most part strong character development was nonexistent. I had a hard time feeling sympathetic for the characters in this movie and the situation the found themselves in. The film was very disjointed and was never able to build up any momentum and hold my attention for extended periods. I got the impression that the casting was based on drawing as much impact from the stars as possible without really giving them all meaningful roles in the film. Just when I thought that the movie was going to build upon a theme it was quickly forgotten about and vanished. Once was enough for me.
