Luckily, I saw this film on a long bus journey when I was hung over. This covers all the basis as I was in a similar situation to the characters and due to my intoxicated condition, looked much like George Clooney.
It is the sort of film that isn't bad enough to be a time waster, i.e. the kind you watch for the cheap thrills from oversized explosions or slapstick humor. Surprisingly, it wasn't good enough either to be an actual work of art. So what are we actually left with here? Well, quite frankly not much apart from a 50-year old bloke who hates people, thinks he finds his match and true love, only to get smacked in the face in the most ironic of ways. And that is fine, because he treats us.
No wonder he got nominated for an oscar, because he is one hell of an actor, but it's the movie that let him down and robbed him a small yellow dude on a platform. And since I've already ruined the twist in the plot there is no reason why you should see it. So instead, go and run in the fields or something, walk your dog or play chess.
