“Closer”
Patrick and I actaully watched all three of our netflix over the weekend and today. Today’s choice: “Closer”. We’d heard a lot of great things about it, but sadly, we didn’t feel it lived up to all the hype.
The characters had no redeeming qualities and I didn’t even like them. It may be the first Julia Roberts character EVER that I didn’t like. Things came out of her mouth that just shouldn’t have. I mean, I know she’s an actress and just playing roles and that she probably doesn’t want to always be the good girl, but man!
We really didn’t get the point. It’s one of those movies you watch and at the end you say “that’s it? I want my two hours back!” We decided maybe we just aren’t sophisticated enough to get it.
Oh well, maybe the next set will be better.
We felt the same way when we watched it on the plane ride back from London last spring. I was glad it was just a time filler on a 9+ hour flight on which I had to stay awake. Yeesh. I have to feel like I can root for at least ONE character in a movie, and they were all creeps. Didn’t care for any of them.
