With this great cast, I thought this would be a better movie. It was a decent movie, but nothing to rave about

I have to watch this at least once a year to be reminded of the pitfalls of wealth and intelligence. Sweet! And such a beautiful ending.

Couldn't even finish it. Not funny. Not interesting. Don't waste your time.

I'm with Peggy M., who says, "Couldn't even finish it. Not funny. Not interesting. Don't waste your time." I DO get dark humor, and I GOT the point of the movie, but UGH. It was TORTURE. I thought with such an outstanding cast it had to be at least bearable. But alas, no. We watched the whole thing, thinking, "It HAS to get better." But again, alas, no. It wasn't quirky, just weird. It wasn't funny at all, just sad.

It's hard to believe that the reviews are all over the place on this one. While watching this movie, I kept thinking that some of these actors were in it just to keep working, just to keep the money flowing in. Although the actors, for the most part, gave an ok performance, the script was awful. As a whole the movie was a waste of time, and, another example of Hollywood cranking out movies just for the money and not really caring if they are any good. I definitely do not recommend. Thumbs down!
