This movie if you want to call it that that would be quite an exaggeration being as it's kind of like a play if you will is a yawn fest, I like Sean Penn, but I guess you have to be a fanboy to like this movie, for those people who are suggesting it is deep or some kind of reflection about meaning in society or the world, give me a break!, I guess it starts out okay, the basic premise, but then it gets lost in Sean Penn's diatribe, it is not deep, it is not revealing of anything insightful about human nature, it's terrible!, and yes, he does become terribly insulting and the character that is is supposed to know things, it's just trite BS, avoid at all costs!, I stopped after 30 minutes or more and there's no way you could pay me to keep watching this schmuck fest.
