Rating: Summary: I honestly wish the system would allow less than 1 star. Review: This movie has one scene that is worth a look (and it lasts about 2 minutes), but the rest is trash. It is one of the most boring movies I have ever suffered through. In the beginning, you are not sure what's happening, but you're sure that it's slow and dull. About half way through, you finally understand what the movie is about and where it's going and you are extremely disappointed. Finally, you reach the end and if you are still awake, you are feeling extremely unfulfilled and robbed. I don't understand where all the hype comes from. It must be one of those movies that people don't dare to hate because somewhere along the line it became "cool" to like it. You will feel robbed even if you don't pay money to see it. I want my hour and a half back!
Rating: Summary: The Worst Movie I've Seen In Years Review: I watched this movie for 2 reasons- first I'm a big Bill Murray fan, and second, the movie had all this hype around it with it's praise from critics and the awards it had recieved. I was bored within the first 5 minutes but I just figured that it had to get better... WRONG! Nothing happens!! It just shows Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson looking bored all the time, which makes you bored. There is no story line or point to this film. Don't buy this if you are looking to be entertained, or moved.
Rating: Summary: Boring, Went around in a circle Review: This movie was very hyped up about how great it was. I was very disappointed because the movie went in circles. I found it very boring and repeptitive. The main reason I didn't like this movie was because it didn't capture my interest at all.
Rating: Summary: They should force prisoners to watch this as punishment. Review: I'm a hard person to bore. I can sit through the entire 4-hour direcetors cut of Dances With Wolves or a chick flic and be more entertained. This is actually boring, boring, boring.
Rating: Summary: don't miss the point! Review: I find the reactions on the part of various reviewers to this movie interesting to observe; others have commented quite adequately on what the movie is about so I won't go through another summary.Those who lambast this as the worst movie of the year may be missing the point. I greatly enjoyed this movie precisely because Sofia Coppola has an uncanny talent for creating scenes where what is unsaid is far more important than what is explicitly stated. There are undercurrents, by plays and emotions that come across clearly without a word being spoken. Another uncanny talent that Sofia Coppola possesses is the ability to create atmosphere. Viewers who have seen "The Virgin Suicides" will know what I mean. On the surface, ordinary American family; underneath, SO much else going on, and a really eerie atmosphere. Overall, if you don't enjoy movies that are based on character development and atmosphere rather than plot, you will not like this movie. Otherwise, it is a delight to watch. It was also VERY refreshing to see a relationship developing without the need for hot and steamy sex scenes.
Rating: Summary: Wow, this film is very ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz..................... Review: I CONFESS: I didn't make it through this film, I fell asleep halfway through it. Plus, it bugs me that I used a free rental to watch this ode to paint drying on film. I just wish the critics and the Oscar judges would be as honest as I am about this film. All the snappy dialog in the world can't hide the fact that this film GOES ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE. Why don't they just create a "let's give Bill Murray an Oscar award for being such a swell guy" Oscar category and be done with it.
Rating: Summary: Very Slow Review: This movie absolutely bored my wife and I to death. It was very slow starting out and continued to drag on throughout the movie. We didn't finish watching it because we fell a sleep. I give it a 2 because I like Bill Murray.
Rating: Summary: Lost in watching this worthless piece of .... Review: If you've had trouble falling asleep, this is the film for you. I hav'nt seen a film with this much action since Andy Worhals Empire State Building. I've worked in Tokyo under similar circumstances and had an exciting and eventfilled experience. These principle characters come off as a couple of dull folks from the USA. Why all the fuss about this film? Somebodies pockets must be getting lined. And I'm a big Bill Murry fan. I'd rate this film 0 stars and 5 ZZZZZs.
Rating: Summary: Can you spell 'BORING?' Review: This is a non-movie! Nothing, but NOTHING, ever happens. I forced myself to watch to the end -- what a waste of time. And Bill Murray was nominated for an Oscar for this performance? My advice is don't watch unless somebody pays you!
Rating: Summary: An Exceptionally Boring Movie Review: With all the hype that this movie got, I forced myself and my spouse to watch it to the end hoping (in vain) that the misery we had endured thus far would be rewarded by some fantastic finish.... which never came. Undoubtedly the most boring movie I have ever seen. Perhaps I disliked the movie because I could not identify with it. I feel sympathy for those who could, as what tragically boring lives they must lead. I wish I could return this bomb, but the BS no return policy on software and dvd's that retailers force on consumers prevents me.
