1/4 peels
Well, to be fair, I didn't even finish this movie because I disliked it so much. Maybe I missed a great ending, but I very seriously doubt it. In fact, I don't even care. The movie had no impact on me, at all. It had good reviews and maybe with a huge STREEETCH I can see why, with Paul Giammati in it doing a decent job and a fairly original screenplay. It's setup so that the real Harvey Pecker narrates the movie and talks occasionally in an interview-style, sometimes poking fun at this-and-that in the actual movie. I find him really annoying and the cuts between the movie and his blabbing quite distracting, taking you out of the movie literally and emotionally. It's almost disrespectful to the actors, not allowing them to fully connect to the audience through the people they are portraying. I would have very much appreciated the movie being completely separate from the interview cut-away scenes... and Paul Giammati narrating it. Then, it might have been pretty good.
There's not much more I can say. Probably a good movie for the fans of the comic. It's just not my thing.
(Moving on. Next movies I'll be reviewing, sometime in the near future: The Proposition, Down by Law, The 400 Blows, Amreeka, Dancer in the Dark)
