Review of Rubber (2010) by Lewis R — 11 Jan 2012

Wanted to adore this movie. I delighted in the Monty Python 'retreading' in modern times. Enjoyed the good stuff immensely and "got it", but the pacing was just too stretched out towards the end. I legitimately believe they were stalling for running time after the 60 minute mark to make a feature length out of it. Too bad. It brought the movie down from "55 minute masterpiece" to "smart but not smart enough 80 minute indie with a terribly disappointing ending", and you just do not do that.

This would be a good movie to have some drinks with friends with and talk through in bewilderment.
