Don't understand the positive reviews

Rating: 4/10 (6 August 2011)

I like George Clooney...really. I mean, he's good-looking, great camera-presence, plays many different types of roles. But, I've never (and I mean never) seen him in a good movie. Don't know what it is. Must be a talent of his; and this movie fits right in...Incredibly Boring...slow mundane talking. Reminds me of books I was forced to read in high school; would read a couple of pages, then couldn't (for the life of me) remember what I just read...just like this movie. Very disappointed, considering the good reviews. I only know this: a good movie captures your attention, makes you think, makes you laugh, etc. A great movie, all the same, except you are also willing to watch it over and over again, no mater how many times you've seen it. With this movie, a Root Canal would have been more productive and, based on my insurance co-pay, cheaper too!
