i'm sorry, i found this film excruciating

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 2004)

As with so many of Zemeckis' comedies, the overall _feeling_ of this film is akin to having a hebephrenic clown back you into a corner and start pulling things out of his giant bag of tricks: "does THIS make you laugh? well what about THIS? isn't THIS funny? ha ha ha ha ha! laugh, you bastard, laugh!" And on and on and on.
There is no air, no breathing space, nothing to measure all this desperate "entertainment" against. Even Marx Brothers movies had lulls, not because they were flawed (though they sometimes were) but because the Marxes knew the value of varying the tone. They weren't straight slabs of "HA! HA! HA! HA! WOW! WOW! HA!"
Furthermore, I think the script of this movie stinks. Sorry, I guess. Zemeckis usually revolts me.
