Gervais' The Office was fantastic because it was different. And so I was hoping that this movie too would provide some interesting and creative storytelling. I also thought that this was a great premise for a movie. Unfortunately, like many movies with promising premises, it becomes a simple by the numbers bore-fest. I won't bother with a plot summary, but I will say that the number of interesting or surprising elements is zero. I might as well have watched the latest Sandra Bullock movie.
I guess it's not too surprising. American financed movies almost always have uber-predictable plots. The movie could have been redeemed though, if it was funny. But it wasn't, there was very little audience reaction in the screening I was at.
All in all, a waste of time and money.
