Negative Positive
Title: FOUL!
Review: Don't get me wrong, I GET this movie's message. The problem is ... the message [is bad]. The movie had great promise, great cast, and it took all that greatness and completely crashed and burned. And yes, that is the point, but it honestly went beyond Hollywood cliché. It was something more putrid and disturbing that can only hide its ugliness behind the guise of a Hollywood cliché. The joke is not on the people that didn't get that this movie's point was failure; the joke is on the people that think this movie had some masterful point. People who loved the movie laugh at the `nave' people who hated it; meanwhile Kufman is laughing at all the people that think he is making any statement at all! It is [horrible] disguised as cleverness.I am a movie lover, a Meryl lover, and was intensely excited about the release of this film (having loved Kaufman's previous work), yet it was the only movie I have ever seriously wanted to walk out on. Painfully disappointing.
