Vanilla Sky? Why?

Rating: 2/10 (18 December 2001)

Vanilla Sky, the new thriller from writer director Cameron Crowe of such films as Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous. I am a fan of his, but Vanilla Sky was terrible. A thriller that the TV spots said had twists that no one should give away...That got me excited. I like twists, if they are LOGICAL!!! This movie felt like it went to extremes just like A.I.:Artificial Intelligence did. I was hoping for something not so extreme and boring. Something that made sense to the previews. ] In the ads, they make it look like Cameron Diaz is trying to blackmail him into being charged for murder, when that is not how the movie goes at all. It goes to such an extreme, that its hard to sit still. MY Words don't express MY feelings. But I think Variety said it best..."A Crushing Disappointment." 2/10 is what I give it. And I give it that high of a rating because it piqued my interest once or twice only to be shot down with it CRAP!!!
