LAME, BORING MEANINGLESS DRIVEL

I used to like Steve Martin movies when he was actually funny. Now as a serious movie this barely rates..but WHAT REALLY BITES ME!!...is that the video store has the gall to stick a COMEDY Sticker on this load of crap..also..I just finished watching Mozart and the Whale..a serious movie about people with Aspbergers Syndrome...and ONCE AGAIN the lying fraudsters stick a COMEDY sticker on it. I figure they thin they can con us all into trying these movies simply because of the comedy sticker!!..WHere is the real life section of the store? Oh no there isnt one!! So all these morons can deal with is Action, Drama, SCi FI and Kids sections..hmmmm well I think those last 2 movies deserved to be in Drama at the very freakin least!! I'm going to give the store a serve when I return these movies..I hate being taken for a ride..be warned!!

So if you wanted a war movie and got 'Schindlers List' instead would you trash that 'cos there wasn't any blood and guts? IMO, there's no way this should be described as a comedy but really your issue should be with the store that misdescribed this, not the movie itself. Did you consider asking the store manager for your money back or did you just rush straight to IMDB to whine about it on here?

This is a very bittersweet film with only occasional elements of comedy - kind of a tragicom where the humour is subtle rather than laugh out loud. If you went in expecting American Pie then sure, you're gonna be disappointed but don't solely trash the movie because of that.

Finally, it seems to me that if this was the second time you've been caught out by the erroneous comdey sticker using the same store and have said nothing both times then you're only too happy to be taken for a ride. Speak out or change stores.
