Fans of sophisticated, independent movies may get an orgasm watching and discussing it but it's one of the weakest films I've ever seen
I liked only the motive of those boys' friendship.
THANK you. Gus Van Sant's films bore me to tears....
The film I hate most is "Lost in Translation." Most boring film I've EVER seen. Two hours of Bill Murray looking bored. Plot? What plot? Characters? What characters? Dialogue? What dialogue? The film was so drenched in subtlety that it felt like the "film" wasn't even there at all, and that I was just watching Bill Murray and Scarlett Johanson on vacation in Tokyo. I can't imagine why this film got best original screenplay--probably because the director, Sofia Coppola, is the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola. My dad liked it, but I heard him SNORING through it. He said you'd have to be his age to understand why it was good, but my mom is his age and she hated it too. I wouldn't hate it so much if critics didn't love it; most overrated film ever made, hands down.
The most purely STUPID movie though? I gotta give it to Batman & Robin...

Though, that film at least works as an unintentional comedy. XD Right up there with "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
