Painful
12 January 2006
It's hard to describe how painful it was to watch this movie. It was horrible. There was no plot, no theme, and I couldn't have cared less if all of the characters died. A film doesn't have to follow a formula to be good, but this was random. It started nowhere and went nowhere. It was worse than "Eyes Wide Shut." If you want to watch a movie about nothing, see this one. I know some films like to leave it to the audience to figure out the meaning of the things depicted. I got the thing about the coins, but who really cares. By then I was exhausted from waiting for something to happen. A good example of the randomness of the movie is the stuff about the kid eating paint and dirt. What did it have to do with the movie? What did it have to do with anything? It came from nowhere and went nowhere. The film just went on and on and on. I kept waiting for something to happen, but it never did. It was a complete waste of time to watch. When the movie ended, the only word uttered by my 27 year old daughter (a real film buff) was "painful." I couldn't agree more. I find it hard to believe that this film grossed $124,000. People should have been paid to watch it.
