rood1974

36 years old, from Poland. I know movies. I watch them everyday. I'm a fan of this whole moving pictures extravaganza. In this country "the movie business" has been... well, for the lack of a better word, crappy. We have some brilliant directors (few of them acknowledged internationally) and some not so brilliant directors (some of them acknowledged internationally). This flick is the first attempt to make something entertaining (in the best Hollywood sense) for a change. I could go on and on about how this is uneven and, for some parts, badly casted. How this is a rip off (of course).These are minor details. I haven't seen anything like this done by a Polish crew. Laughed my ass off during two or three scenes. Well done. Pretty well done.

I would really like to enjoy this movie, but I can't. Someone wrote that it takes us into the lives of junkies, but it really takes you into their comic-book, cardboard cut-outs versions. The plot is OK, but, unfortunately, the characters are flat and somehow badly acted. You can clearly see what this flick wants to be and portray, but it only delivers a one-dimensional, "drawn" schematics of the destination point. Comedy part is too predictable and, yet again, flat and you cannot shake the impression that you are just reading an abstract. And Mr Roberts is as fake as my last girlfriend's boobs. Same goes for the girls. They are just not believable at all.
