They should have called this "Vanilla Pudding"

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2002)

They should have called this "Vanilla Pudding" for all the sense it made to the poor souls who sat through this. Extremely terrible plagiarized moviemaking by the usually more-sensible Cameron Crowe and the ever-annoying Tom Cruise. Arty, pretentious,and carrying just plain stupid dialog like:"She's the saddest girl who ever held a martini". or "Red dress...strappy shoes!" Words fail me. For those of you who dote on Cruise, remember that he's a "movie star" and not an "actor" so watching him just eat up the scenery is a painful experience...even on fast forward. Tom Cruise owes me the rental fee for this exercise in Lame entertainment (yes, that's capital "L") and approximately one hour and 15 minutes of my life back. We can all be thankful though, that his ex-wife Nicole Kidman (the Queen of open-mouth breathers) wasn't in this vapid flick. Can you tell I didn't like it?
