There Will Be Boredom

Rating: 1/10 (1 November 2008)

I recall a novel by, I believe, Evelyn Waugh, in which an amateurish church group decides to make a film about the life of John Wesley. They haven't the slightest idea of what makes an interesting film, as, for example, one of the scenes in which Wesley is seen, sitting at his desk composing a pamphlet for four minutes.
Of course, that's the joke, these people are amateurs, and will for all their good intentions, turn out a piece of boring junk. That was my reaction here - one scene after an other, dull and too long. But then, I remember, these people aren't amateurs, they are supposedly some of the most skilled professionals in the business, who make a lot of money entertaining us.
What on earth could they have been thinking when they turned out this tedious turkey?
