Truly..the worst film ever


"The Worst Film Ever." This is quite a common refrain on IMDB. It took me 20 years to come around to expressing my views about this film. "The Worst Film Ever." I saw this in the discussion board about the movie "Sideways." I am so very sorry, but "Sideways" doesn't even hold a candle to this god awful movie, if that's what you want to call this absolute waste of celluloid.This movie was just down right boring. I paid more attention to the happenings going on in the theatre then on the screen. My brother was so bored with this picture he fell asleep in the theatre. I tried to wake him a few times, but he just fell right back to sleep. His snoring became so loud that some of the other theatre patrons complained. They called the theatre usher to tell my brother to either wake up or just leave the theatre altogether. When it came out on VHS in 1986, my mother rented a copy from the neighborhood video store. I warned her about this movie. I told her that she would be disappointed. She loved Robert Redford and wouldn't listen to word I had to say about this film. Sure enough..she became so disappointed with this movie - she pulled the plug on this movie before it was even half way over. The movie was just that bad.

I agree this is one of the worst movies of all time. Hated every minute of it.

Than you should see a doctor.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but not every opinion is worth sharing.

There are those who can look at the great pyramids and see a pile of rocks, or the Parthenon and see a dilapidated building. Consider yourself among them.

I agree with you. "Passage to India", "Ghandi", "Howards End" and "A Room with a View" are 10 times better than this movie. On the bright side, "Out of Africa" is a tonic for insomniacs, LOL.

replying after almost 10 years.

In short, I found your review superficial, lacking details, but otherwise - hilarious!

Each to their own .. its one of my favorites because it is slow , Ilove Redford and Streep , thought their chemistry was good , and the scene when he washed her hair is more erotic than a dozen porno films .. and I thought the music was exquisite

I saw it at The Cinerama Dome in Hollywood when it first came out and it put me to sleep too.
