Sweethearts (1997)

I'll give you £500 for those earplugs...

In the unlikely event that comedienne Ms Janeane Garofalo brings her stand-up act to the UK, please remind me to skip it. I've never heard anyone chunter on for so long, and not come out with a single remark that was enlightening, witty or interesting in any way, shape or form. Quite an achievement. I doubt even David Beckham is capable of that.

Of course, the loser in the movie who meets her on a blind date thinks she's 'delightfully kooky' and falls in love with her monotonous patter. One thing that does concern him though, is she seems intent on committing suicide. Maybe she got the idea from her exes, who I can imagine would be lining up around the top of The Empire State Building just to get a bit of peace and quiet from her infernal mutterings.

I appreciate some things are an acquired taste. Doctor Who, Flip-Flops, The Welsh... all these I loathe, but I can respect some people like them for various reasons. If you find anything redeeming in this 90 minute monologue from hell though, you're WRONG. It's as simple as that. 1/10
