...load of old cobblers.

I sat through three hours of that nonsense and I have only myself to blame.

Benjamin went from looking like a wizened little cauliflower to looking like, well, Brad Pitt, but he was consistently dull throughout. What was the point of it? Was it supposed to be a touching love story?

I feel untouched.

dh and I watched it and thought it was really really disappointing. One of our favourite directors too, but just trite and the characters were so thin. I expect it made a much better short story as the concept was interesting, just the execution that was so lacking.

I thought it was alright.

The worst film ever is Eat, Pray, Love, in my honest opinion.

Someone gave me free cinema tickets to go and see it, and me and DH still felt robbed!!! Smile

Its just rubbish i cant even remember what happened at the end not as bad as Black swan though hours of pretentious piffle.

Am I the only one who loved it? Blush

BigRedBall · 28/04/2015 07:35

Is it worse than Avatar? That was the most boring 3 hours of my life.

I liked Tree of Life. Music was good too.

Mrsjayy · 28/04/2015 07:37

Yes its worse than Avatar which is saying something

Lanaandmaria2014 · 28/04/2015 13:42

I liked it and want to see it again. Is it based on a true story (or is that a silly question)!

HerdOfRhino · 01/05/2015 05:50

I'll tell you what it wasn't as bad as Slumdog Millionaire.

I will never understand the hype surrounding that film. It was rubbish!

MummyPig24 · 01/05/2015 06:39

We got halfway through and it was so dull we went to bed and have never finished it.

PeasPleaseThankyou · 01/05/2015 07:07

Slumdog is one of my favourites, love it, bloody hated Black Swan though, boring old tosh
