Review title: Why Did I Sit Through This Again...?
Product review: FUNNY GAMES is a film that exists to disturb, or at least annoy you at the very least. Just when you think there might be a moment to care (or a point, for that matter), the film literally stops, rewinds, and eliminates that faint hope. When I got to that scene, I wondered: is this some kind of sick, twisted comedy?No. Because it would've needed to be funny. Or darkly amusing.It was a filmmaker dangling an entertaining moment in front of you, then pulling it away and smacking you in the face. I can just see all the smirking film snobs politely applauding that the audience had a terrible time. Hoo. Ray.I love Naomi Watts but I have to wonder why she'd use her talent in such a film like this. If she tried to make a sympathetic character out of her doomed victim, she couldn't overcome the script's complete contempt and cruelty for her. No, she'd have to be part of the scam.Have fun.
