...that the movie is awful. There are a few funny jokes; there are some attractive actors; it has a beginning, middle and end. It's just that to watch it is a complete forfeiture of experience. There's nothing there, just fluff, and you could have thought of better fluff. Certainly not every entertainment experience needs to be brain-bending, and of course, good fluff has its own relaxing virtues. But if that's what you're in the mood for, watch TV.

Just try to keep your eyes open the whole time. I dare...
