Dreadfully Boring

Rating: 3/10 (11 April 2015)

I had fairly high hopes about this based on a review I read prior. Wrong. Casting Ryan Reynolds was a huge mistake, and the same for the character playing his wife. Many scenes were overplayed...I kept thinking, "Ok, I get it; let's move on." About half the movie contains flashbacks, which is a method that's way too far overused now, and it's completely overused here. I think Ryan Reynolds was trying to play a more "serious" role, but he just doesn't have the kind of charisma that is needed here. The story line is okay, but a lot of the lines come off trite and even a bit silly. This is a movie I would only rent. Please don't pay $10 or whatever to go see it.
