Title: Boogie Nights described in one word-- overrated
Product review: I have no idea why this movie is so appealing to everyone. Another reviewer thought the characters in this movie were more likeable than those in Magnolia. I think the characterization in Magnolia is its major strength. In Boogie Nights I'm not sure which character was in the least bit likable even less respectable except for William Macy, Burt Reynolds, and the guy who opens the stereo store(sorry forgot his name). Mark Walbergh's character was pathetic. He's arrogant, shallow, and doesn't have any recognizably good qualities. Walberg's acting isn't anything special either. I was expecting more from the this movie after all the talk I've heard.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
