We Were Boring

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2002)

This film has the potential of a classic, but I ended up wondering what was the REAL PURPOSE behind the film. Money? Ego? The script is horrendous and filled with every cliche imaginable to man. Characters don't develop (except for Mel Gibson to some degree because everyone loves Mel Gibson and this is a Mel Gibson movie). They only have one purpose and that is to make you cry with silly dialogue, and also Chris Klein just became a daddy right before he gets reluctantly shipped off to war. THIS IS HEART BREAKING STUFF. I think it's asking TOO much from the movie when we wanted the second coming of Oliver Stone's classic Platoon, but hey, this is supposed to be a movie to respect Vietnam vets, right?
5/10
