Negative Positive
Title: Barely Tolerable
Review: I hate to contradict all the rave reviews below, but I found this movie extremely lame and barely watchable. John Cusak plays a completely self-centered jerk who wonders why all his girlfriends keep leaving him. It's painful to watch, and not funny. Sorry folks, but self-pity is not entertaining, and this movie consists of John Cusak's character feeling sorry for himself and whining into the camera. The whole movie is a rip-off of the Woody Allen movies of yesteryears, such as Annie Hall. There's the main character breaking the action to direct address the camera, and there's the hapless nerd who can't keep his girlfriend. It's an old story that's been done many times before and much better. 'nuff said.
Is the review positive or negative?
