i hated this movie


I had big expectations for the movie being a fan of all three of the main character actors. But for most of the movie it was just them repeating the same things they had already said. I found myself picking up the newspaper and reading a couple of articles waiting for the movie to go somewhere.. and it never really did. Vote = 1 (awful)

I am not halfway into this film, and it's driving me nuts. First off, successful at the age of 30 or so does NOT "hang" with loser drug dealers / addicts. They now have little to nothing in common. The dialog IS dull, odd, and repeating itself many times. I am uncomfortable with the beer, pot, and the fact Vince won't dress. That guy would have left Vince after 10 minutes and gone to dinner as what was planned. This is a very bad movie.

I saw this film about 10 years ago. I like the idea of a film with few characters in a single setting, but the dialogue was so silly. The three of them sounded like high school kids. (Dead Poets Society, anyone?)

If memory serves me right, the woman had been raped by at least one of those guys. So what on earth was she doing, meeting them in this hotel room or apartment or wherever it was that the meeting was held?
