My wife came home last night with a DVD to watch..."Revolutionary Road" with Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. She wasn't too sure what it was about and the description didn't really reveal much about the extent of the "moving epic". I was looking forward to our evening entertainment until shortly after the movie began. It was disturbing, slow moving, immoral, aimless, pointless, boring, often uncomfortable, and ultimately very depressing because it never got better. What a waist of time! I'll admit to being a sucker for a happy ending, but if a movie is good, I welcome an unexpected curve ball. This one has got to be the (or one of the) worst movies I've ever sat through, and I'm disgusted that we waisted an evening on it....I kept thinking it would pick up! It was nominated for 3 Academy Awards...probably by the director's mother! I will say that the acting was good, the cinematography was good, and it didnt' come across as low budget, but the story was so lousy none of that mattered...I honestly enjoyed watching the animated kid's movie Aladdin earlier in the day much better than Rev Road.
Be forewarned and pick something else unless you need a good downer.
