The characters in this movie tried to relate everything to a "Top 5" list. These lists included everything from John Cusak's (Rob) list of "Top 5 Breakups" to a list of "Top 5 Songs About Death". So in keeping with the theme, here is a list of my Top 5 reasons why this movie was not very good.
1. The 114 minute running time felt more like 11 hours and 4 minutes.
2. I got tired of hearing John Cusak talking (whining) to the camera. This technique has been used too many times before and should be put to rest (the only good use of this technique was by Zack Morris on "Saved by the Bell").
3. The producers of the movie should never have allowed Iben Hjejle's (Laura) to cut those bangs in her hair.
4. I had to watch the entire movie so I could write an honest review for it. Otherwise, it would have been turned off around 35 minutes into it (10 of which were previews).
5. Please reread reasons 1 through 4. |
