Did not enjoy this one. I found it tepid and predictable. Matt Damon's character lacked sympathy. After all, he was a genius working as a janitor, who could turn around his life in a moment's notice if he wanted to. And let's face it...everyone knew he would do that, right? So why did I feel trapped into listening to every major cast member deliver a overlong monologue (or two)? It was as if I was sitting in an acting school on casting agent night. Nope. Didn't work for me and I felt that this movie could have ended in fifteen minutes if Robin Williams, Minnie Driver, and Ben Affleck had simply pounced on Damon and throttled him for a few seconds while yelling, "Are you out of your friggin' mind?"
