I used to think THE SUBURBANS was the worst move I've ever seen. There's a new game in town!
SAM & JANET is painful to watch. The characters are shockingly bland -- in fact, one of the only believable things about this movie is that two such drippy, boring self-pitiers would wallow in each other. The dialogue was incredibly stilted, and it's hard to believe the guy who wrote, produced, and directed this film makes a living on the radio. It sounds like it was written by someone whose longest conversations are with telemarketers. As if it weren't bad enough, he peppered the thing with puns that will make your ears bleed.
The tragedy of this movie is that I think it honestly wants to connect with those of us who don't live in New York or L.A. But to do that, a movie really needs to offer us something deeper than, "Boys are stupid," (a common line here) and "Tell the truth." And please, PLEASE -- NO MORE PUNS.
