This movie was a big disappointment. Typical Hollywood crap. Cute, yes, but poorly directed (in my humble opinion) and way too cliche. Skip it and read the book instead. At least the book was good.

Think for a moment of one of the stupidest, corniest, most poorly acted, overly done, cliched, slap-in-the-face annoying movie you can think of. Are you thinking of Keeping the Faith? I am. This movie was awful. So awful. And a huge portion of that awfulness is due to Jenna Elfman. Ed Norton, I used to love you. What, oh what, have you done to yourself?! I should have just read the part on the back of the video that began with "A priest and a rabbi..." and put it down. I would have spared myself the agony of sitting through this horrible excuse for a motion picture.

This is among the worst movies I've ever seen. The only reason anyone likes it is because nobody understands what the hell is supposed to be going on here so they just figure it's one of those "artsy" subliminal type films. Instead of admitting they don't understand this fine form of art, people give it a great review instead. Let me tell you that this movie sucks. There's no plot. It's boring as hell. If I wanted to watch a bunch of freaks doing drugs for 2 hours I'd stay in my dorm room. I admit that Sean Penn gives a good performance, but it's too bad that he has no role. Kevin Spacey: What's up with you? I love you, man, and you turn around and shove all the love I've given you where the sun don't shine! What's WRONG with you? And Meg Ryan should under no circumstances play a drug addicted whore. That's almost as bad as when she played Jim Morrison's girlfriend in the doors. Yeah, that was a great choice of character. Hurlyburly is a sucky movie. I'm sure the play is just dandy if you're into sitting in a theatre for hours watching something that makes no sense (hmmm, that's what the movie was like). Don't torture yourself if you haven't already seen this crap. And if you have, I feel for you, man.
