We didn’t actually get to finish watching this movie. However, we didn’t want to. The DVD had more scratches than a rap album [wow, that was a lame comparison, sorry]. We kept waiting for it to take off, especially given the names on the casting list. After trying to clean the disc several times we concluded it could also be our DVD player, but I wasn’t ready to go run out and buy one tonight.
The acting on the movie was weak at best, Owen Wilson’s ‘accent’ was so fake I thought I was watching a mockumentary. Actually, I sort of was, but the funny lines died short of funny and the not funny lines didn’t carry anything. On top of that there was a topless gal in a few scenes which surprised us. I suppose they just missed the boat on this one.
It gets a one-third swordfish rating… whatever that means.
I have to disagree with you on this one. I thought that the movie was very interesting. The acting was not the best but still better than many of the movies out their. Also I think that this was just not your typical movie. It was different and odd, which made it entertaining for me. It seems to me that the movies coming out now are basically the same, excluding a few of course. Anyway maybe it was not my favorite movie, but I felt it was worth watching (on DVD.)
Darlene and I watch this movie last week and all I can say is…”whaa??” We kept waiting for the movie to go somewhere. To be funny. To DO something. Not that it was a bad movie by any means, but like you said, with a cast like that – why wasn’t it better??
