Review of Otis (2008) by Shi X — 27 May 2009
I know that somewhere in this movie is a funny dark comedy struggling to get out. However, Otis is NOT that movie. It's painfully unfunny and a half hour too long. Everything happened VERY slowly: the dialog, the acting, the plot, and the torture.
It's really hard to watch without wanting to do something else. Every joke missed their mark and scenes lingered for far too long which made me wish the editing was sharper. The ending was anticlimactic and lame and the characters were uninspired.
This movie had a promising idea for a dark comedy that was botched. It would have been watchable had it been 80 minutes long and fast-paced.
