My Order Is: Go To Sleep Instead Of Watching This Movie…
By Michele Dillon
….cause that is what I did. Or almost did anyway. Here is where my genius will be put into perspective, I am really not as smart as I say I am but I am pretty sure that no one else would have been able to understand this movie either. My NUMBER ONE biggest pet peeve when it comes to movies is where they start the movie out having the characters talking to each other in “inside joke” talk. Then, as the movie progresses, they randomly bring it up and KIND OF explain what that “inside joke” talk was about…and it’s not even that exciting! It just makes you completely confused at the start of the movie, which frankly, is not a good movie making tactic. You want to pull the viewers in, not make them feel like they are intruding on a secret conversation that makes absolutely no sense except to the person who wrote the movie. So that is the number one reason why this movie lost my attention. Number two was that the movie was about a priest who ends up falling in love with a girl and then abandoning his priesthood to be with her, which this plot line can only be pulled off with Edward Norton in “Keeping Faith”. So the long and short of it is, well really the short of it is, this movie was not worth my time or consideration or the brain work used to try and understand it.
