Absolutely awful

haha Laughable to see the overload of pretension regarding this film. "The best movie of the 90s"..."Should have won like 10 Oscars"..."Oh my god, the scene where Sigourney Weaver gets back home and curls up into the fetal position was just so beautiful" etc etc

Are you kidding me? Boring, pretentious, pointless about sums up this movie. I know, I know, I'm just not sophisticated or deep enough to get this movie, and I should go watch Transformers instead. Maybe I will.

I thought this was so bad, that I now have no interest in seeing some of Lee's other work, such as Brokeback Mountain.

A bunch of unbearable characters that are supposed to show the dysfunction of the typical American family or something...the idiotic Elijah Wood character and his moronic musings about molecules and walking around the dark road by himself and hopping on a frozen diving board because he's so "deep and enlightened"....the unbearably crap narration by Tobey Maguire and his Fantastic 4 crap....Christina Ricci's ludicrous character...ugh it just goes on and on with no point to it.

I give it a 5/10, only because I'm feeling generous and it's technically well made and acted. You couldn't pay me enough to ever watch this garbage again.
