  Intelligent movie or stupid movie about intelligent people? You decide. I heard all the hype and I finally went to see it. I ate a whole bag of chocolate Easter eggs in the process (what with it being Easter and all) then found myself enjoying a story I created in my own mind about a group of ragtag computer salesmen who get fired, then break into their place of work to steal an X-Box while one tries to track down a mysterious cry for help that only comes through one account on his computer screen. If not for my imagination, I would have given this movie a 2 or a 3. It had its moments, but it was, for the most part, dreary and boring. I suppose people will tell me I didn't get the point. Well, maybe I did, maybe I didn't, depending on what the "point" is. I figured out the whole clashing-colour- clothes- and-walls- symbolizing- the-dysfunction- of-the-family thing, but still looking at all those mismatched colours made the backs of my eyes hurt after a while. The best part of the movie was the Hey Jude instrumental during the opening scene. Oh yeah, and what was with the Charlie Brown Christmas music being played twice (at least) in different points in the movie? See? I was paying attention. If I had gone to see it at 9: 40 instead of 7: 10, I would have surely slept through most of the movie. Surely. Complaints of this getting an Oscar snub? SNORT! This movie belongs nowhere near an award of any kind, even something as meaningless and politically-motivated as an Oscar.
(5/10)
