Celebrity
A Video/DVD Review |
|
 |
This review will be kinda short because I just don't want to waste
any more of my life on the video "Celebrity." The video's
got a butt-load of stars, Leonardo DiCaprio, Melanie Griffith,
Winona Ryder, Joe Mantegna, and Hank Azaria, playing a variety of
characters I'm too lazy to backtrack for, to name a few, with our
stars, Kenneth Branagh playing Lee and Judy Davis playing Robin. The
video basically tells the story of Lee and Robin who are recently
divorced. Robin hooks up with new love Mantegna and Lee keeps
interviewing famous people and trying to sleep with them. Lee keeps
trying to pitch his screenplay, then his novel, while Robin can't
figure out why she keeps liking getting into the showbiz world when
teaching used to be so fulfilling. Lee meets most of our stars on
the basis of interviewing them for his article, and it's supposed to
be a comical inside look at the life of being a celebrity. You get
the model-type with Charlize Theron, the trouble-maker actor in
DiCaprio, the starlet who won't sleep with you but will give you a
blow job in Griffith, and the up-and-coming still sort of innocent
Ryder. The problem is that basically, this movie is boring.
Lee is the most annoying person in the world and his character
gets boring fast after he pitches his screenplay for the second
time. The relationship between Judy and Mantegna's character is
nice, but I just got tired of her questioning how a great guy could
love her. And all the while I kept looking at the clock wondering
when this movie was going to end.
So I'll just wrap this up and not waste any more of my time by
giving "Celebrity" a ½ star out of 5. There was a chuckle
or two, but not enough to make the time go by, and I can'' believe I
wasted a couple of hours of my life watching this video without fast
forwarding through most of it.
That's it for this one! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
