If you look at the MetaCritic reviews, it looks like you're not the only one who thinks that.

NY Daily News gave it ZERO stars, and calls it "An early and daunting contender for worst movie of the year"

NY Post gave it one star.

NY Times gives is one star out of five and says "As the jaundiced, disjointed, drug-infested story heads toward its dismal conclusion, its reputable actors vainly struggle to infuse the goings-on with a deadpan psychotic zaniness. But even when viewed sideways, "Perception" is not funny; it's hardly anything at all."

My frustration is that this could have been a really solid movie!
Here is Piper who is back home
Her parents were awful in the movie
But all her friends could have been stronger characters and they could have made this a better movie
It would have made a funny romantic comedy

I feel like Piper was giving it everything she had and her performance was lost in this difficult movie

I used to work at Blockbuster and we moved this into the old releases WAY before we were supposed to. Nobody ever rented it, and the two or three people who did hated it. Someone went as far as to leave a note on the under the plastic part of the cover that said not to rent it.

It is.

I was watching clips from it on You Tube. It looks like a deadpan comedy. But here, everyone is saying how depressing it is.

Which is it?

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah...
