Overrated One-trick pony

Rating: Null/10 (7 April 2000)

Not a bad movie, but certainly overrated. Capable direction and excellent acting but a pointless plot that ends with a not so clever trick.

How can such a simple joke take two hours to deliver its punchline? And its lack of depth makes it completely unwatchable a second time.
I think this would have worked much better as a one hour movie, much the same way Proust should have written short stories.
