stop praising a 2hr commercial

Rating: 2/10 (24 April 2010)

It's time to send Hollywood a message that we will not blindly rave about commercials in movies. This movie had not one, but three or four commercials for a car rental company written in. The Oscars should not be taking movies like this seriously. I could not pay attention to the film when the commercials went on and on. Seeing a can of soda unmentioned on a counter or Reeses pieces on the ground is one thing, but this film went too far and movie goers seem to be stupid about it. Keep going, and we'll just have more and more of this junk. The acting was OK, particularly Anna Kendrick as the role of the new kid on the block trying to change the way the game is played then having a change of heart when she learns from the seasoned master of dismissal, but if you take out the commercials, how long would this film really be? Clooney was typical Clooney in my opinion, hard to watch him without remembering who he is throughout the entire piece. Meryl Streep can bring you into a character so much that you forget it's Meryl on the screen, Clooney may be totally charming, but he seldom has me forgetting it's him rather than allowing me to get lost in the character so I can enjoy the film more.
