Wow, I guess they thought they were amusing, but they weren't. And I was so looking forward to being entertained! Alas and alack! Not to be.
It was slow to the point of glacial, obviously aimed at a US audience, they always want to belabour each and every point and detail, really make sure that they spend ten minutes telling/showing you what you already understood in under ten seconds, and then give you "one more time for the dummie$".
It was so predictable and twee, I couldn't stand it.
Another Hollywood fiasco where you can say nearly every line before it occurs, five minutes in you've worked out what is happening, what will happen, and the rest of the film is pointless thereafter.
So I still watched it through, even though I was itching to wander off and do laundry - there were no improvements. I didn't expect it to be fantastic, but I wanted it to be just a certain level of entertaining. I got faux profundity, and then dumb and dumberer twigging at the end.
Like the US film industry as a whole these days - looks slick, no substance. Nope.
