Yeah...I second that one. Not worth the 2 hrs I put into it because it starred Robert Redford. I just figured the trailer wasn't giving it credit.

Horse Whisperer? I never saw the movie but the book wasn't so great IMHO.

The eldest daughter made me go with her to see The Brady Bunch. Yep, I hated the tv show and I hated the movie.


He,he, but I made her go with me to see Rob Roy as payback. The only problem was that she loved it as much as I did.

Why do people go to movies they expect to hate? I'll never understand
that. I save a lot of money by avoiding movies I think I'll hate! :)

My buddy's wife got free tickets to The Notebook. They both hated it.
The wife said they needed to go do something manly afterward so she
could shed the excess estrogen.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Any Seagal movie, for me. He doesn't act. He displays.

Last Year in Marienbad. In our house, a byword for the kind of film we don't want to watch.

Of course. That's all anyone ever watches his films for.
