Lame as hell...boring and meaningless

I mean, maybe you have to be about 15 and juvenile delinquent to enjoy it, but I thought it was completely lame. Dialouge sucks. Oh yay, they are calling each other names. Oh yay they are fighting. Oh yay some psycho chick is getting another injection. It's boring and meaningless. The whole mosh pit scene was totally unbelievable. I'm sure the staff would have just sat there while they through furniture around the room. I stopped watching right around the "Batman sucks" group therapy session. LOL. WTF. I could not take it any longer.

I respect your opinion. I can respect the fact you didn't care for it, but I think it was far from meaningless. I think there are numerous situations and themes the movie addresses. The main theme it addresses is the tendency to run away from your problems, when the real problem is yourself. I think Cheadle's character summed up the movie when he said, "Where ever you go, your still going to be there." In the end Lyle realizes he's got personal work to do, so he gets that help. I don't care whether you like the movie or not, but it did have a meaning.

Woooooooooooooooo!
