Dumb, with occasional bursts of hilarity. Mostly it's just boring filler. The concept's a cute idea, but why would they do it with a movie with so little dialog?
Hey, I love this film, what are you looking for?
ReplyDeleteThis was a breakthrough in it's own way, others have tried similar formats, God knows, but this was the original. Watch it again and have a big glass of wine and stop looking for something.
thanks for reading this,,,,,Wes
Others have tried similar formats? That is truly sad news.
ReplyDeleteSince you ask, what I'm looking for, from a movie like this, is to have fun. Like I said, it has occasional bursts of hilarity. It's an okay movie. But I don't think I'll be watching it again any time soon.
