Unfortunately, I did not see this as "being right up there with 2001". I
did, however, find it not unlike looking in a mirror. For two hours.
With nothing else going on. And so it goes. The plot. Moved forward. At
about. This pace. And the camera. Never moved. It was like. Being
trapped. In a room. With Ben Stein. For two hours. There are some game
performances amidst all this nonsense though, but mostly you feel sorry
for the actors- clearly they thought the director had a 'concept' that
was worth humiliating themselves for. The director didn't, so
consequently you have a bunch of pretty talented people talking into
phones for two hours. And the camera, I'm not kidding, DOES NOT MOVE.
Perhaps this was shot for computer screens, I don't know, but it sure
doesn't work as a film.
