Tries way to hard and fails badly
7 April 2012
I found this movie difficult to watch. It just feels like its trying way too hard to be hip and edgy. Its not gripping, you don't care what happens to the characters, its not funny, and because it so dull you find yourself giving up on following the story and then wondering what the hell is going on. Its a shame because I really wanted to enjoy this film, the reviews were good and I had reasonably high hopes. However I felt really let down by the obviousness of it all. Sure I really enjoyed watching Michelle Monaghan, she is gorgeous, but her character is awful. She plays a slut, and I guess its somehow suppose to be funny that she has slept with everyone under the sun, but really, again its cheap and obvious. I love Robert Downey Jnr, he is great, I love him in NBK and Iron Man, and his acting in this is pretty good I guess, but you just don't care about his character, he is annoying and unfunny and again everything seems obvious and trying to be wacky and funny, but its not. Im not that hard to please, I enjoy watching films, a lot, I have a large collection, but this movie is being removed from my shelf and is now making its way to the second hand movie shop!
