Review by dexter_greycells

This movie was mostly a waste of time. For a brief moment it gave me a Silver Linings Playbook vibe since the two main characters are dealing with mental health issues. However, the movie does not get serious except for may be the last 10-15 minutes. The comedy comes across as spoofy rather than funny. I was worried if I have let myself into watching a Stanley Kubrick movie whose movies have always left a terrible aftertaste in my mouth. A look at the credits told me it was written, directed and acted by the same guy. Seemed like self-indulgence to me. May be the movie might have appealed to a niche audience at the time it was released but it hasn't aged well. Natalie Portman was a headline name but even she can't save this one.
