I occasionally sit down and watch a movie. I decided I would check out Burn After Reading, it’s supposed to be funny right?
What a piece of crap that was. I wish I had the last 96 minutes of my life back. Actually I sat there for nearly a half hour after the movie ended trying to figure out what I had just watched….was that really the best they could come up with??
The movie has an all-star cast. They got the media proclaimed two sexiest men alive in there, Clooney and Pitt, and that is the best they could come up with?
It starts off pretty clever, some guy gets fired from the CIA and decides to write a book about all that he saw there during his years..that was about the first 5 minutes (and 50 F-bombs), and it was downhill from there…
They have me following some chick who wants plastic surgery cos shes getting old and saggy, she meets a bunch of losers through online dating companies and is completely miserable…that just got me depressed…
Then they have Brad Pitt acting like some gender confused airhead in his 20′s. Sorry, Brad Pitt can not pull off an acting role for a guy in his early 20′s, hes getting old!
I wont even get into Clooney’s character or that old guy from the gym. What a pathetic excuse for a film, made out to be a comedy when really its just some sad story with a dull ending and no one should have had to ever watch it.
So I give it two thumbs down, if you didn’t catch that already. Enjoy your evening..
