Seriously?
By Michele Dillon
I had a WAY better headline for this review but I am not going to use it for the sake of not offending people. I’m pretty sure that you could guess it. The second best headline, that I used, basically describes how much I don’t understand how this movie was made…I remember watching this before, and I must have had a really bad taste in movies back then because I do NOT remember it being as bad as it was this time around. So many things are wrong with this movie and I think the only way to describe it is with a Pro and Con list…
Cons
1.) The acting: Zooey Deschanel, why did you damage my idea of you being one of the best little independent actresses out there. I think I might forgive you since this movie was made so long ago. Eddie Griffin, how many times did you really have to do the “snake eyes”, I’m sure 1 million was not really written in the script.
2.) The script: It could have been OK story except for the fact that they made it predictable, boring and repetitive.
3.) The filming: The way the scenes were set up made the movie seem very choppy and you didn’t really understand what was real and what wasn’t until a few minutes after it occurred. Hint for if you watch the movie: nothing in the movie is supposed to be a dream sequence no matter how much it seems like it is.
4.) What’s left to pick on about the movie other than that it is just horrible…plain horrible…
Pros
1.) You probably saw this one coming, if you know me at all, if I am going to whip out the pro and con list, usually there is no pro, and that is the case this time around as well…
