2/4 stars
The least literate script I've ever seen. None of the characters apparently have any interests or anything to say. Shows a fairly pessimistic view of humanity on the part of the writer, that he believes these hollow constructions could pass for human beings. I'd score it lower, only the movie isn't really painful to watch so much as dull and needless. Beyond the writing, it's okay, but is that really saying anything? The actors and the director are painting by numbers without making too much of a mess. Also, the movie is crammed with songs that deserve to be in better movies (well... the best of them do) and cue scenes that have nothing to do with what they express. Somebody probably guessed somewhere along the way that this was the only chance this movie had of achieving any emotional resonance whatsoever.
