Review of Before Midnight (2013) by Steve B — 08 Feb 2014

I didn't see the first two films that spawned this one (thank God) so came into this film rather confused. There is so little going on in this film that I found myself playing the part of the script supervisor.

During a 45 minute dinner scene, I found drink glasses refilling themselves, food changing hands, and amazing smokeless everlasting cigarettes. They should have called this movie - "a bunch of white assholes, some of which have acting skill, reading what a writer might consider entertaining".

This is the kind of movie that Kevin Smith would write and direct, if he figured himself for an intellectual. Obviously, I am not a fan of this format. And this disaster certainly has it's fans to carry a rating so high.

I am only giving it a full one star, on behalf of my wife who found it just entertaining enough to pause while taking bathroom breaks. I, meanwhile was secretly jumping it ahead to get the damned thing over with.
