"The Feeling that the Time for Doing Something Has Passed"

I really don't understand the way folks are raving about this movie. Here's the review I posted on IMDb:

From the second the film starts to the closing credits, you'll laugh so hard you'll have a hard time catching your breath. It's just non-stop action, one-liners, and zingers coming at you. DUCK! Here comes another one! Wow! What an amazing movie-going experience!

Okay, I lied. In reality, I had to quit this dreadful film after about 30 minutes. It was going absolutely no where. I think a better title for the film would be: "The feeling that something is going to actually happen has passed." Yes, it's that boring. Naturaly Rotten Tomatoes gave it a high rating. Something like an 86. But that was the critic's rating. The viewer rating was in the mid 20s. Trust the viewer's rating on this one. It reminded me of "The Lobster" by Yorgos Lanthimos where absolutely nothing happens for hours on end.

If you need something to put you to seep, forget the Melanonin or the Z-Quil. Just put this movie and you'll be fast asleep in no time!
