the only reason I could stand to sit through this movie was I was curious how Kubrick would treat the Schnitzler novella. Nicole Kidman was at her worst (she couldn't even cry on cue, even Tom could do that!), and Tom Cruise kept making these Risky Business poses.
What insulted me the most is the scene where Cruise's friend basically explains the plot of the movie to him (and us). How stupid did Kubrick think we were? Most other movies don't attempt to summarize what's going on for the viewers, and you can bet the Schnitzler novella didn't tell you what you were supposed to understand.
Nicole and Tom didn't even look good naked!
