Title: Drags on and on and on...
Review: This horridly boring film from Robert Altman doesn't generate enough suspense to be interesting nor humor to be funny. It wades in a cesspool of dullness, never giving us interesting characters or even comelling situations. As if the murder mystery wasn't used enough, this movie doesn't even try to give us fascinating dialogue or characters worth mentioning. The cast is divided into two parts: the rich and the servents. The rich sit around acting pompous and speaking with British accents. Their servents have no particularly unique qualities. Now here's the odd part: the film was up for the best picture award at the Oscars. What for? A weak delivery? Bland characters? This film fails on all counts in turning in something worth watching. It's long-winded and never really gets off the ground.
Is the review positive or negative?
